If you make a big jello in small layers, scattering dried un-cooked pasta shells
in each layer before it sets, you get a kind of composite jello which is
stronger than pure jello. As a bonus, the raw pasta discourages people from
eating the jello.

As far as I can tell, you just get an inexpensive hobby.

With composite jello being researched as a building material now would be the
time to buy, buy, buy.
