And he invented a new dessert that has found its way into millions of American stomachs. When Bob Cassanelli was studying chemistry at Wor­ cester Polytechnic institute in Worcester, Mass., he yearned to move into a field with more practical application. One day he began reading about microbiology, packaging and food processing and recalls, "I found it fascinating.". From there, the road was smooth and straight. The ink was barely dry on his graduate degree in food science and technology from the University of Massachusetts when he was hired for the research kitchens of General Foods in Tarrytown, New York. There he helped invent a new three-layered gelatin dessert called "1-2-3," for which he and two other men received a U.S. patent. Their new dessert started life as a lab curiosity, Bob Cassanelli says: "We were whipping gelatin with emulsified vegetable oil and suddenly we got a product that? developed its own topping." Nobody shouted "Eureka!" or anything like that, but they all realized that a gelatin dessert making its own layers and topping could be pretty exciting stuff in the kitchens of America. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how new desserts are born. "So what can you do with whipped topping?" wondered Bob Cassanelli after the big discovery that day in the lab. "How can we come up with something to fit it?" He ex­ plains, "We were looking for interesting textures. What happens when you take gelatin and mix it with other things? Well, you get something bet­ ween gelatin and a pudding, we found out." For Bob Cassanelli, the work was just beginning. "We took the idea in a crude sample and showed it to the marketing group committee. We made it in strawberry, my favorite gelatin flavor. They said it was interesting and it would fit into their operation. Then we went to small home-use tests. We asked about thirty consumers to use it and fill out question­ naires. 'Not enough topping,' they told us. They all wanted more. "We thought that we could improve the taste and texture as well as the amount of top­ ping, too. So we changed the formula slightly ; we looked at other types of vegetable oil and emulsifiers. We resubmitted it to our consumer panels and we called it a 'strawberry layered dessert.' " Getting that topping exactly right was a trial, says Bob's wife, Terry Cassanelli. "I tried it out in my kitchen at home five or six times. There was either too much topping or not enough." "Once we had a workable formula," continues Bob, "we needed to know what equip­ ment would be needed to prepare it in sizeable quan­ tities." That meant a trip to the gelatin manufacturing plant in Dover, Delaware, to check out equipment. Then they had to check out trademarks and decide on a name. Their first choices were "Crown Delight" and "Snow Delight," but those ^ APRIL 4, 1973. were already registered, so the final choice was "1-2-3." A few weeks later, "1-2-3-" was in the hands of the marketing and advertising mm, and then, on supermarket shelves. Bob Cassanelli was back at his desk in the research lab, thinking up new chemical formulas for new food products. "The opportunity for new and innovative food is still there," he feels, "but it takes a lot of work and digging and creative application. We've gone through a lot of ideas. That's my job now - new products." What next, after "1-2-3"? Well, there have been suggestions for the "Cassanelli Casserole" because the syllables sound so good. But then, Bob Cassanelli reflects, "I'd really like to have a bridge named after me - something that would last." • • • * Argumentative souls, short of facts, are very argumen­ tative. • • » * A bullet may be deadly, but rapid-fire tongues often claim many victims.
