SIBERIAN BEAR DUEL

Okay but really, eating THESE (

) on their own is just awesome.

It's jam not jelly.

The label itself says "jelly". Who are you Aussies to argue with the people who make it about what it is? Besides, Smucker's sells another, separate product:

Note the word at the bottom.

did you call me an aussie you mong

ooh look at the label it's not like they're ever wrong in it

THE PERSON WHO INVENTED SOMETHING CANNOT BE WRONG ABOUT WHAT THEIR OWN PRODUCT IS CALLED.

Jelly, jam and preserves are all made from fruit mixed with sugar and pectin. The difference between them comes in the form that the fruit takes. In jelly, the fruit comes in the form of fruit juice. In jam, the fruit comes in the form of fruit pulp or crushed fruit (and is less stiff than jelly as a result).

DOuble post who cares not me


This is a SCIENCE website explaining what Jello is.

Jelly does not contain any animal parts.

We are all quickly going out of our minds.

Oh I believe that happened a long time ago.

[Ashleg]

That already happened.

So... The stuff you call Jelly is just Jam without solid bits in it? That's strange. Never encountered jam that's just juice down here.

But what do you call "Jell-O" made by other companies, then? Jell-O is a trademark; other companies that make the stuff can't call it Jell-O.

[The Skarzs]

Gelatin, I guess. It's probably just as weird for us that you don't have our jelly as it is that your jelly is our fruit gelatin.

If you had said it in this way: "There was a jelly at the party" I would have understood what you meant. Odd. I knew it was referred to as a jelly, but I didn't think the word was explicit to that outside of the US.



This topic's focus has gone reeeaaaalllyy far off.

It's just like calling a tissue a Kleenex.

Okay, to summarize:

A fruit spread containing actual fruit is referred to as Jam, regardless of country.
Jam that only has the juice is referred to as Jelly in America, and N/A in Australia because I have never seen it. (and if it does, its probably just called 'fruit spread' Like how butter/margarine that doesn't contain animal fat/plant fat is just called 'dairy spread.')
Bouncy gelatinous desert is referred to as Jell-o or gelatin in America, and Jelly in Australia.

they didn't invent jam though

[The Skarzs]

It's kind of hilarious yet very sad how petty this all was.

[Lady Amber]

This is hilarious. A whole argument about jam and jelly, happening in a topic called "Siberian Bear Duel."
