Gelatin Brain Molds for Bicycle Helmet Demos
Summary: Here are some sources for molds to make brains out of jello.
There are many ways to use the famous Jello brain mold, a mold that you fill with gray or pink jello to make a model of the brain. Once it sets up and you turn it out of the mold the jiggly stuff is not that far from the texture of a real brain.
Flavors that give flesh-tone results include peach and watermelon with a few drops of green food coloring to darken them, but you can use any color, adding one 12 oz. can of light evaporated skim milk with no more than .5 percent fat. Gray is an obvious choice for "gray matter" but pink shows up better. For demonstrations it can be jiggled, dropped, smashed, eaten and more. Guaranteed eeeeew!
