With an adult's help, prepare jello according to directions on box. Refrigerate 2 1/2 hours or until partially set.

Grate about half a cup cabbage and half a cup carrots into a bowl. Add the drained pineapple and orange segments to the vegetables and mash with a fork until mixture looks well chewed.

Remove the jello and dump the vegetables in. Stir gently with a fork. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 2-4 hours until it has the consistency of a grassy pile of gelatinous puke.Serves 8-10 chunk chompers.
