Originally published in 1984, this strip was responsible for the explosion of the Jell-O snorfling craze that swept through the 1980’s. At first it seemed as harmless as streaking in the 1970’s, yet it held a sinister secret. Many young men & women became highly addicted to Jell-O snorfling which led to the even more addictive Jell-O wrestling. Teens held parties filled with Jell-O. High schools eventually had to ban Jell-O from all campus functions. Soon a whole wing at Betty Ford was dedicated solely to the eradication of the addiction but to no avail. Finally, Nancy Reagan added Jell-O Snorfling to her “Just Say No” campaign and, as we all saw how effective that campaign was, soon the craze faded from the spotlight.
Soon to be replaced by Jell-O Pudding Snorfling. But that’s another story
