In 1845 a man by the name of Peter Cooper ( he did the Tom Thumb train) made the first Gelatin dessert. In 1895 he sold his dessert to Pearl B. Wait a cough syrup manufacturer and she named it "Jell O". A man by the name of Frank Woodward bought "Jell O" for 450.00 from Wait. It was not a success right off but by 1906 1 million Jell O desserts had been sold. In 1923 Jello Company merged with Postum Cereal and that later will become General Foods.
