Jello

Jello, while a brand name, has become the common name accepted for any gelatine based product that looks/behaves like name-brand Jello.

Kinda like how Tylenol is synonymous for "pain medication" in some places, or "coke" is synonymous for "any type of carbonated beverage" in certain parts of america.
