Description
The description for Fruit Float was really the product Jello 1-2-3. The bottom layer was traditional jello and each layer above it was creamier and foamier than the last. Fruit float was something different. It was fruit and stuff in a can. You added milk and if you refrigerated it long enough, it was kind of pudding like--only runnier. It was kind of like a fruit soup. I loved the Strawberry.

I remember this too. At one time Jello offered (plastic) gray parfait cups. I think my mom still has them.

Oh, I forgot to mention, there is a new version of this product on the shelves (at least in Canada) made by Dr. Okter (weird name, I know, but the product is identical)

Yes Jello 1-2-3. I would have 3 distinct layers and it was pretty darn good. I can only remember orange, but I know there were other flavors.

Wow my mom had those parfait cups and they were gray. She still complains that they stopped making the Jell-O 1-2-3. I remember it as being pretty darn good.
