Really got to admire the creativity and effort that some people take into making bad food even worse.

Me: emmy is pretty neutral when it comes to weird new foods and recipes. Emmy: Let’s give this ABOMINATION a taste

emmy, i recently inherited my gradmothers old cookbooks and found many recipes i think youd like! one really interesting one is called "sad cake" and the recipe is: 2 cups bisquick 1 lb box light brown sugar 4 eggs 1/2 cup cooking oil 1 cup chopped pecans 1 cup angel flake coconut combined and baked at 350 for 30-40 minutes. yes.... it says a whole pound of brown sugar. i do not know why it is called a sad cake nor have i tried the recipe, but feel free to give it a go! its supposed to be a very fudgy cake. the recipe is quite vague theres also this one... simply called "baked bananas" nutmeg to taste cinnamon to taste oleo small box strawberry jello 6 bananas (not ripe, still greenish) split each banana in half lengthwise, then split in half again. layer in a buttered dish side by side. sprinkle generously with strawberry jello. sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg and dot with oleo. Bake in 400 degree oven uncovered for about an hour or until glazed. i have many other recipes i can share too, just let me know :) I even have a cookbook dedicated to honey, called the vermont beekeepers cookbook.

We used to have this at potlucks all the time. The trick is to not over mix the cream cheese into the jello. You only slightly mix the two , and then the cream cheese will settle just above the nuts and the jello will have more of a transparency to it and settle at the top of the mold.

My first thought after you cut it and placed it on your plate...that looks like canned cat food. 🤢

Just tell your dinner guests it’s been in the back of your fridge since 1974.

I love the retro use of the word " Salad"

I felt like she just kept adding parsley to stall having to try it 😂🙈

My grandmother used to make this. It never occured to me that is was unusual until just now.

From a distance: "oh nice, a giant cruller doughnut" Up close: "oh no"

Do y’all remember 123 Gelatin dessert? Oh I think the salad recipe has a huge misstep. I cannot believe they used orange Jell-O and not cherry Jell-O

I see people asking if you can use dr. Pepper or coke zero as substitutes and yeah,probably,but why? Why would you ever make this?

*reads coca cola* *reads also salad* *sees a jello cake* *gets confused*

You should have tasted the orange vanilla Coke with this!

Emmy I love your fearlessness! At the end of the day it's just an unpleasant taste, but so many people are so afraid of that. You never are which is why I'm a fan for life!

I've never seen Emmy look so worried about trying something. That was like a whole 4 minutes of procrastination.

I’m watching this video with the captions on. When Emmy says, “itadakimasu” it CCs as “eat the Dr. Miles” 😂😂

I’m loving the May West voice Emmy keeps doing

Literally one of my favorite ways to pass the time is to look at retro jello recipes, specifically the nasty ones, it's amazing and horrifying

I think the color description you're looking for is "cow's abcess." Lol great video!

You would think that cherry jello would go better with Coke.

I make a coke jello salad but I use cherry jello a can of pineapples cream cheese pecans and a can of coke. It is so good I absolutely love it.

Interesting. I would use lemon-lime Jello and Sprite. Or orange Jello and a strawberry soda.

“Someone was nibbling at my parsley!” I know the feeling. We have rabbits in our neighborhood who love my herb garden. We were going to put some deterrents but one day the mama was followed by this super little baby who loved my parsley an...I fell in love. Now we actually have a little garden with bunny friendly plants and flowers and it’s almost like they understand it’s for them and they leave mine alone.

If i had to eat only one food for the rest of my life I would choose salad. The possibilities are endless!!

How about some cactus soup? I hear it's wonderfully slimy. Edit: I believe it is popular on the island of Curacao.

Emmy, I don't even want to tell you what I thought that looks like when you cut it. You are so brave to try these things for those of us who simply say no to the ingredients. And your unmolding of the jello ring this time was perfect! Thanks for the fun albeit weird recipe. Keep on changing the culinary world, one video/recipe at a time!

Emmy: GIVE IT A LITTLE SHUNK SHUNK Me:🤣🤣

I love Emmy! Her videos are so simple but yet so satisfying and entertaining! Love you emmy!! 💜💕

I feel like these are the ingredients of a recipe a drunk person would come up with. (Picture a drunken slur): “Okay guyz we are gonna add sum cream cheese...and jello into tha bowl...oh and soda! I like soda.” 🥴

I love how willing Emmy is to try stuff.

My husband just paused the news channel to watch this video... Emmy is more important! Lmao!

One package jello and one tub of cool whip mixed will make layers.

I just binge-watched all your Retro Recipes and now I get a new one on my birthday!! What a treat.

"someone was nibblin' at my parsley." thats the first and only time i will ever hear that sentence. thanks, emmy 😂💕

"Greetings, my beautiful lovelies, it's Emmy-- *clicks the Like button*

Emmy: I'm making Coca Cola Salad. Me: That doesn't sound toooo bad. Emmy: We start with a packet of cream cheese. Me: Oh... Oh... No. That's not headed in the direction I thought it would.

I LOOOVEEEEEE seeing your quirkiness come through! You're a little beautiful sunset so cute.

It only separates into three layers if you like and share this facebook post

Your channel gives me happiness! Thank you Emmy for being so inspiring :)

I loooooooove your retro recipes series and hard times series so much.

This whole section of retro recipes has me feel nauseous- I hate the texture of jello and so it's all pretty horrifying

I love her she goes where most tip toe and gives a perfect review after she tries it so down to earth i feel like i was included in the taste test go Emmy

Unless the color is off it looks cantaloupe-colored. As someone who grew up with her grandmother making these I can say that if you’re not using walnuts then you’re doing it wrong 😆

Looks like a perfectly natural color to me. Like a yellow ochre.😁👍

"This looks pretty homogeneous." Yes, but also pretty gross.

emmy is braver than the entire US marines

Love ur channel Emmy! I'm always so excited to see ur vids! You make me very happy ty! 🙏💜🌷🐝👏💗🤗

Avocado-ey orange color?....b...but...avocados are green...

Dang. The notification squad is on point! Now lemme go watch the vid.

Put the Jello down, Emmy! Secret word? Emmy, I have extreme juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and a degenerative spine disease and have been in true agony this year. Because there isn’t help medically (unless I want to become an addict, no thank you), the only thing I can do is find joy and peace where I can. You have been that for me for a long time and there aren’t words for how grateful I am to you! Your calm voice, positivity and sense of humor are contagious and the greatest weapons against anything threatening to swallow me up. Sorry for the long message, I just had to let you know after all these years ☺️. Love and hugs to you and your lovely family 😘💨

harvest gold yellow ! i think that's what u meant. lurve yur content

Corn on the cob but instead of the corn bone it's a hotdog. Pls make it Also I really appreciate your channel, and your voice is really calming, everything you do is really cool 😃

9:44 😎✌ Emmy!! You did what!? "Put the jello down".

A retro recipe is what got me and my husband started on finding Emmy and have been with her ever since! We Always enjoy your videos!

Sees title *concerned face* Hears ingredients *concerned face intensifies*

The color reminded me of my dog with a stomach ache...

It is called "Lunch on the Lawn" with mayo! a 1950's joy?

I’m so excited for this!!

I have been waiting for this 🤗 retro recipes are my FAVORITE

I dislike how much I want to try this 🤣🤣

I bet this would be yum w/ orange soda! & be prettier!!

Emmy, your videos are like small rays of sunshine. I adore the retro recipes! Thanks for uploading.

I LOVE the little background music you added! it’s makes it more magical when the music plays corresponding to what you’re doing

A savory jello I remember eating when I was little had Campbell’s tomato soup and tiny baby shrimp... It was always a hit at all the church potlucks and holidays. Now I need to find that recipe!! 🤔

I think you are supposed to let the coke cool prior to mixing. One way or another you have to find a way to make it 3 layers. I know you can.

When Emmy said she was going to add "our favorite retro garnish" I was terrified she was going to put a dollop of mayonnaise on top 😫

I love these retro recipes💜

“You gotta love that jiggle” 😂😂 This is why I love Emmy

It sounds fine in theory, but the finished product is not very delicious-looking...

Yay! I LOVE Emmy’s retro recipes!

Emmy you have a beautiful gentle voice and your videos are remarkable x

Avocado was never orange, not even in the 70s.

Would you be interested to do the 70's Vogue 3 day egg/Chablis/steak diet?? I think this Coca Cola/Jell-o recipe would be the perfect thing to make when you are off to your first introduction with your partner's parent....LOL Thank you for this interesting video!

Super simple recipe, but one I've actually had before. Lime jello salad. My grandma makes it every time we visit for dinner. 1 cup shredded cabbage, 1/2 cup julienne carrots, 1 package lime jello. Semi-set the jello before mixing the veg in, then let it fully set. I like to eat it plain, but my grandpa liked his with ranch dressing

Love your videos!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This reminds me of those of old infomercials with that Cathy Mitchell lady who'd put pepsi/ coke (or ramen) to pretty much everything. You can tell the homemaker women of the early 20th century were bored as hell staying at home all day so they decided to experiments with food.

Yeah, you take that to the family event for people you don’t like 🤷‍♀️

idk what it was about this video but I was LOL'ing the whole time x'D

Hi from a new subscriber in the UK 😁. Just discovered your channel and started to watch some of your wonderful videos. It's now almost 4.30am and I've been watching for almost 6 hours. I have to be up in 3 hours time. I'm going to be in so much trouble for this but it was worth it. You are one of the best at what you do.

You should try the hot dog pie. It legit looks like smashed hotdogs in a pie dish......

I would like to make it with orange soda. Haha

I love your videos so much💗💗💗

I swear 🖐🏼 I get genuinely happy 😃 when I see your video pop up!♥️♥️♥️

Can you do the same thing how you made this but with Doctor pepper

Put the jello down! (and "wool blanket")

I really love your passion and joi de vivre! Just watching your content makes me feel more positive about humanity in general!

I must try this. Yum!!

Who else has been here since the beginning?

My family is mormon so I have had many jell-o concotions over the year. This is something I would totally try. There are a lot of jell-o desserts with cheese on them.

Been waiting to see this🤗

I love a gilded lily and the parsley just makes it 👌🏻

okay I really wonder if this can be made with Coke Zero and sugar free jello???

I wonder if the substitution of fructose corn syrup over sugar cane in the coca cola (sweetener) makes a difference in the taste and/or layering of the salad. Years ago coke used cane sugar. Im told it even tasted better back then. Ingredients change over time. Btw Emmy you are so beautiful. I fear that if my fiancé ever catches me watching your vids that she may force me to watch gordon ramsey instead. Yuck!!!

Those real quick voices she does slay me. She's my favorite youtuber

This sounds sooooo yummy

This is vile 🤮 I can’t believe this an actual recipe

Try this one guys: Equal parts jello mix (any flavor), cottage cheese and cool-whip! It's yummy but you gotta like cottage cheese!

Yay thanks for doing this, I saw it on Twitter and couldn't even imagine what it's supposed to be or look like haha

My family still makes this for holidays but we use Strawberry Jell-O and add crushed pineapples. i’ve never seen it separate. i always look forward to it. one of my favorite desserts
