TRUTH !!
A carpenter named Pearle Wait invented Jell-O by adding fruit flavor to gelatin. His wife came up with the name Jell-O, and Wait started selling the product door-to-door. After failing to find anyone who would buy it, Wait sold the rights to his next door neighbor, Orator Francis Woodward, in 1899. Woodward hired a stylish sales force and advertised
heavily. Within four years, Woodward was a millionaire.
