The domestic science movement and the rise of processed foods at the turn of the twentieth century drastically changed the way American food looked, felt, and tasted. In this thesis I explore these changes as clues to the origins and long-standing popularity of molded gelatin salads. I also examine the rise of the Jell-O brand of gelatin in particular as a uniquely American icon by analyzing the body of Jell-O advertisements from the Ladies' Home Journal and Good Housekeeping from 1920-1945. During these years, the Jell-O brand persona changed dramatically from a high-class food for entertaining to a patriotic food-stretcher. This change mirrored women consumer groups' overwhelming support for war rationing and price control during WWII. I argue that the Jell-O brand's unique ability to mold its persona through advertising to fit changing consumer concerns was crucial to its becoming a household name.
