Lindsay's Notes:  This is my mother-in-law's favorite Jell-o salad recipe.  You can actually add an extra small package of Jell-O and water to extend the recipe if you're feeding more people.  Also, if you don't have Coke laying around the house, try looking at the price of 2 liter bottles before you buy one bottle/can.  Sometimes it's cheaper to buy more.
