<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 652750, member: 33&quot;]Google Translate says that Götterspeise translates as &quot;jelly.&quot; I have a printed German-English dictionary (Langenscheidt Standard Dictionary). It says the &quot;jelly&quot; translation is British and the &quot;Jell-O&quot; translation is US... which makes me wonder whether a product sold in Germany uses Götterspeise as a brand name.</p><p><br /></p><p>And in Google translate the two parts of the word translated separately say that Götter is &quot;gods&quot; and speise is &quot;foods.&quot; So, food of the gods, perhaps. I&#039;d love to know the history of the marketing job you mentioned!</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Oh, just looked Jell-O up in the English to German part of the printed dictionary. Götterspeise does not appear! Instead, they say the German translation is Wackelpeter. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":wacky:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
