Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
When people are bored, they come up with all sorts of unusual experiments that, if otherwise occupied, perhaps they wouldn't ordinarily try. There is little doubt that this has led to some great discoveries over the years, but this particular one is probably unlikely to have widespread cultural ramifications. It involves Jello and the question of whether or not it can be nailed to a wall.
I won't keep you in suspense. Jello - or jelly if you're not from the US - cannot be nailed to a wall in its standard form. When prepared according to package directions, the amount of gelatin that gives the food its signature "jiggle" is not enough to hold it together when nailed to a board. If you live somewhere where you can purchase concentrated jelly/Jello cubes, however, you will find that it can easily be nailed to a wall.
Mystery solved.

The trick is that you need to nail the jello to a board with a tightly placed grid of nails, and then nail said board to the wall. According to some reviews I've seen, he found two other ways to do this as well, but I don't recall them offhand.
