Egad! I was just perusing a booklet put out by Knox in 1929,
and I was envisioning some sort of effervescent product.
Suddenly, I started thinking that the "Sparkling" referred to
the appearance of the granulated gelatin(e) and/or to its
purity. I did a search and saw an ad that said one could use
this in place of other gelatin(e)s. I guess that confirms
nothing though.
I don't suppose anyone remembers Knox Sparkling Gelatine? Or
the removal of "Sparkling" from the name, if, indeed, that is
the story?
(It's also kind-of interesting that we are expected to spell
it "gelatin", while Knox, a major US manufacturer of same, has
used "gelatine" all along.)
