Back in the 1960s, everyone was really into Jello salads. It was a unique dish made out of flavored gelatin, fruit, veggies, cottage cheese, and various other ingredients. Jello salad has lost its appeal since then but might make a surprising comeback, thanks to TikTok.

TikTok user @eczemmma recently showcased a jello salad that her grandmother Sheila made for a family dinner in a video posted on social media. Sheila shares the recipe with her baffled granddaughter and lists some ingredients that no one would think to put together, like lime Jell-o, mayonnaise, pineapple, and olives.

“You’re gonna love it!” promises Sheila towards the end of the clip, which was viewed 5.4 million times since being posted in late July.

Since many TikTokers have never actually heard of jello salad, @eczemmma decided to share a follow-up video and do a taste test. After trying the dish, she explained that it was not the worst thing she tasted.

“If you have issues with textures, this is not for you,” @eczemmma explains.

Replying to @Coco I’m a cottage cheese lover, so maybe that helps…

The follow-up video also got a lot of attention online but also confused internet users even more.

“The fact that the smallest amount of that is leftover is what baffles me. lol,” @xopaulinap wrote.
