The Gelatin Pool is a scam that Eddy came up with in "Knock Knock Who's Ed?" The scam was exactly what it proposed to be; a pool made out of gelatin. To create it, the Eds built a wooden crate in the middle of the cul-de-sac, attached a diving board to it, and filled the crate with water. Edd and Eddy then carried a giant bag of instant gelatin (lime-flavored to replicate the look and feel of the ocean) to the crate and dumped it in.
As soon as the gelatin solidified, the walls of the crate collapsed, revealing a gelatin pool in the middle of it. Eddy was gleeful about the possibilities that the pool represented, and to test it, Ed dived in. Unfortunately, when he landed in the pool, he got immersed and stuck in the middle, causing Edd to realize he had overestimated the gelatin's viscosity, to Eddy's dismay. Furthermore, Ed then sucked all the gelatin into his mouth, ruining the scam and making Edd feel ill.
