00:00No, it is cheese!
00:01In the Southern Living Test Kitchen,
00:02we've been testing retro recipes.
00:04And today, we've got three Jell-O molds.
00:06I thought me and my mama could taste them
00:07and try to guess what's in them.
00:08Okay, orange.
00:09What's that texture?
00:11Did this one have cheese in it?
00:12No, it is cheese!
00:13It doesn't taste cheesy.
00:15It feels cheesy.
00:16You can get bigger bite than that.
00:17Might not be good at that.
00:19Vinegar?
00:19It does have some vinegar.
00:20And what are the...
00:21That looks like scallions.
00:22What are the chunks?
00:24Crunchy.
00:24The last one, raspberry.
00:26Hey.
00:27Mm-mm.
00:30Does it have cheese in it, too?
00:31I think it does.
00:32That is pink cheese.
00:33For some reason, I like it better than the orange cheese.
00:35So, let's find out what's in them.
00:37This is the orange surprise salad.
00:38It has orange-flavored gelatin,
00:40orange-flavored instant breakfast drink.
00:42Like tang?
00:43Tang.
00:43Whipped topping.
00:45So, cool whip.
00:45Cool whip.
00:46That's why it's fluffy.
00:47Crushed pineapple and shredded cheese.
00:49Okay, this girl is the lemon cucumber mold.
00:52Lemon-flavored gelatin, salt, sour cream,
00:54apple cider vinegar, chopped cucumber,
00:56and finely chopped green onions.
00:58So, we kind of nailed that one.
00:59This is surprise salad,
01:00which we discovered the surprise is?
01:02Cheddar cheese.
01:03Canned pineapple.
01:04I think everything in the 60s had crushed pineapple in it.
01:06Raspberry gelatin, grated cheese, whipping cream.
01:08That's it.
01:09These retro recipes are so fun,
01:11but what are your favorites?
