If you go into a grandma kitchen, you will almost invariably find copper-coated jello molds hanging on the walls as decoration. I know my grandma when she was still alive, every house she ever lived in, the first thing she did when she got all her stuff inside was to open up the kitchen box and hang up the jello molds.
