My family didn't do Jell-O when I was growing up.  My husband's family 
did.  One of his favorite "salads" is strawberry jello with fruit 
cocktail.  Shortly after we were married, he expressed a wish to have 
that.  Since I was heading out the door, I said, "So, make some."

"I don't know how."

"Just follow the instructions on the box."

Do you know, the box doesn't say to stir after adding the cold water?  At 
least it didn't then.  I have it on good authority that it does now, 
probably because of people like my every loving hubby, who followed the 
instructions completely and faithfully and ended up with a layer of water 
on top of something that would make a good substitute material for rubber 
o-rings.  He has gotten much better at making jello salad since then.
