Many have asked what jelly is doing outside of our fridge. Many still don't know... So, this page should enlighten you.
As said before, a certain Jeremy Wobble wrote an article proposing his theory of jelly in space. The theory was based on the fact that jelly is a very, very strange substance indeed, as are custard pies, salami, spaghetti and many other foods. Jeremy said that jelly powder might have formed during the Big Bang, when under enormous heat and pressure hydrogen and helium formed jellyide, a mixture of sugar and naturally occurring chemicals. When the universe cooled the jellyide congealed and formed small jellyidic asteroids. At this point there might have been up to 500 million tonnes of the stuff. But most of it evaporated and boiled away, while some got caught in the sun's gravity field and started orbiting it as part of the asteroid belt. It is still a mystery how it got to Earth, but there is a possibility the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was made of jellyide, as sugar deposits were found in the K-T layer. The jellyide, under the enormous heat, split into component particles which fused from time to time in the atmosphere, until some found their way into a confectionery shop. Of course, there is also the possibility that someone mixed sugar and some naturally occurring chemicals together, but it isn't as interesting.
