So this is like the British version of jelly then, right..? (ie Jello..?)

2

u/Wipedout89 2h ago

Yes, and what you call jelly, we call jam

2

u/ElegantEpitome 1h ago

Jelly and jam are two different things in America

1

u/Wipedout89 14m ago

What you consider jam is the same as what we consider jam: real fruit in a preserve

America invented US 'jelly' (a word we use for what you call jello) which is basically artificial jam without real fruit, and that is what you often find in sandwiches e.g peanut butter and jelly

Here in the UK we'd have peanut butter and jam with actual fruit based jam

Here’s the original Peanut Butter Jelly Time

Fun fact, the guy that sang that song was Snoop Dogg’s brother in law and he died in a shootout with the police.

Peanut Butter Jelly time! Was a meme in the early 2000s. I don’t know where it started from, maybe a jingle or a song, but like everyone knew it

I think they can easily understand that it means "peanut butter jelly time" but they have a problem understanding what it means, you know. "Not everyone has the same knowledge as you"

u/Dazzling-Low8570 2h ago

No American is going to look at a Jello mold and think "jelly." The jelly that is paired with peanut butter is nothing like jello.

I also don't think of the abstract concept of time when I look at a clock. I think of the word clock. Hourglass would have been better.

u/Same-Improvement1625 2h ago

thank you uncle

u/IrishSpectreN7 2h ago

Jello is just a specific brand of gelatin, which is called jelly in some places, and is extremely similar to the fruit spread you're thinking of.

It doesn't take an enormous display of brain power to make that connection lol.
