      But-but-but America bad!

      Seriously though, are Europeans so desperate to stroke their egos that they need to make fun of a trend so old it’s slipping from living memory?

        I feel like a thing isn’t “slipping from living memory” when it’s still being used to the extent that non-nationals even know the usage.

        Why does saying that ‘calling Jello a “salad” is weird’ mean “America bad”?

        Seems like you’re a bit sensitive about this topic…

      My great aunt put them on a bed of lettuce with a layer or cottage cheese.

      We didn’t touch them either and always laughed at calling them salads too.
