Lamps based on molds that make me not only wonder how that generation survived, but also if they have superpowers now…

The ‘Spaghettios and Franks’ mold makes me want to weep…

Jell-O molds or moldy jell-o?

That’s me!
As a recipient of “creative Jell-O molds” I’m here to
certify that my whole generation has
fetal alcohol syndrome and perhaps…
PTSD from the Jell-O molds

Ok, I came around a wee bit too late for the “horrible things suspended in aspic” party food, but right after that came a generation of shag carpets, creepy molester vans, and rainbow sherbet party punch.
I’ve run across a few people who remember this insanely sweet “party punch”. If I remember my childhood correctly, it had like 2L of ginger ale, 2L of 7-up, ice, and a gallon of rainbow sherbet in a giant punch bowl. I’m sure the adults had an alcoholic version, but many kid birthday parties that I attended in So Cal in the 70’s were fueled by this high fructose suspension.
edit: Ha! found a picture of it:
This would make an interesting torchiere if cast in resin…

Ugh, this is the reason why I detest ice cream floats. They’re all like that punch in a glass.

I think I threw up in the bowl before the photo was taken.

I was at a charity auction in 2019 where they served that pink punch; it was highly popular!
I’ve also always wanted an aspic suspension creation without having to actually eat it, so these lamps are a fantastic solution. I love the one with cubed veges floating in it.
