The Meanest Jello Commercial Of All Time

This '80s commercial for Jello will make you say the C Word in your head. I guarantee it:

That commercial makes me wish that Jello had a rival product, like Pepsi or Microsoft, and that the rival company put out a commercial called "Suzie's Brand Of Justice," where Suzie takes the bus from Minnesota to LA and smothers that chick slowly with a bulky sweater. And then eats a delicious bite of the rival product and says "Looks like it was you who needed a sweater, and also Jello is made from HORSE HOOVES!" (Via Fey Friends and everythingisterrible.)

I hate the c-word, but I hate her more.

Colon cleansing?

No, that's two words.

Then when I moved to LA I ditched my bulky sweaters and become a huge asshole.

Well, if all those studies about aspartame are true (aspartame is the main ingredient in Nutrasweet), then is the C Word cancer?

I TOTALLY remember this commercial! It stung because it was right at the dawn of my long Awkward Phase and I was starting to realize that my teen years were going to be nothing like Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield's, as I had previously assumed. Bitch.
