Nailing jelly to a wall: is it possible? (2007)

#32I participated in a competition in middle school to see who could formulate jello that would stay up the longest when nailed to a wall. The one rule was that your jello could only contain ingredients that normally show up in jello. The deciding factor turned out to be not what the jello contained but how it was hammered. If the jello ended up flush to the wall then it would stick, eventually harden, and stay there indefinitely.
On the other hand, I took a more unique approach: I pointed out that fruit was an ingredient that commonly shows up in jellos. So I nailed my jello to the wall through a ring of apple and relied on that to hold it up.

Wouldn't mixing a very concentrated jello mixture make it arbitrarily easy?

What do Brits call jam (i.e. what American's call jelly but with chunks of fruit in it)?
i don't think american-style jelly really exists in britain. british jam and american jam are mostly the same thing, if encountered it would probably be called filtered jam or clear jam.

There was a band called Green Jello that used the name for a decade until one of their songs became popular, then Kraft Foods sent them a C&D for trademark infringement and they had to change their name to Green Jelly.
There's a bagel shop in NYC that used to be called "F Line Bagels" but changed to "Line Bagels" to satisfy the transit authority. One could probably populate a small town with all the world's various proper nouns (bagel shops, bands, etc) that had to be changed after a C&D. That would be quite fun!

Video mentioned: https://youtu.be/Gtffv9bpB-U They had a studio down on Vermont or something in LA and had to change the mural on the building to update the name.

#40These days this would be in a video with a clickbait thumbnail with someone shouting at you after a VPN sponsor ad.
Which would probably reach a wider audience and maybe give the creator a few quid to try other things. I love these kinds of articles (and wrote a few back in the day), but it's hard to see YouTube as a regression.
Not at all. Loss of this content seems like an obvious regression.
