I do enjoy a fluffy pink salad, and have made them before. Remember the "Pink Thing" I made on the old Retro WW blog?
Ew.
Well if you thought that one was bad. Wait until you get a load of this one.
I found the recipe in my Weight Watchers HOT STUFF Magazine (volume 10) circa 1978. Immediately I was drawn in by the name of the recipe: "Pink Fluff". Doesn't it sound fancy??
Well it's not.
First of all, the main ingredient is Diet Red Flavored Artificially Sweetened Carbonated Beverage. I used Diet Faygo Red Pop. And then I dissolved some gelatin into it. And then I stuck it in the blender and made it "fluffy". And then I sat down and contemplated my life choices.

Next up: I chopped up some veggies and an apple. Cabbage, celery and Fuji to be exact.
 |
| Why not just leave the poor fruits and veggies alone? Why must we encase them in gelatin? Why Why WHY!? |
And then... you guessed it...I mixed it all together and chilled until it was firm. Oh boy.
I just have one teeny-tiny question.
WHY IS THIS CALLED A SALAD?!?!
 |
| Nope. |
THE VERDICT: I took one bite and spit it in the sink. Seriously. This was really foul. I mean for me to say that - you know its pretty bad. Most of you know that I have eaten some really nasty stuff, but this is the first time I can recall actually being personally offended by a food.
But I'll get over it. I always do. Nothing a little Listerine can't fix.
