As part of the "funnest" sacrifice ever, JELL-O commissioned a national consumer survey to understand Americans' perceptions about the Mayan apocalypse. The survey found that while 96% of Americans believe the world will not end, surprisingly, 4% of Americans actually believe it will come to an end on 12/21/12. However, that doesn't stop people from celebrating, as 82% would "party like there's no tomorrow" if the Mayan prediction were in fact true. Other survey results include(1):

•If the world were to end, Americans would be most excited about never having to pay taxes again (52%), followed by never counting calories again (24%) •18% of Americans would "hide under their bed" if the Mayan prediction were true

To help inform the public about their efforts to help save humanity, JELL-O has enlisted street teams to bring the fun to five major metropolitan areas where they will hand out leaflets and notify the public that "the end isn't near, the fun is" thanks to the brand's efforts. And as part of their mission to "fun things up," JELL-O is marking the end of the Mayan calendar by partnering with Someecards to offer a unique set of end-of-the-world-inspired, electronic greeting cards, helping consumers have a bit of fun before the apocalypse. You can view the cards and site at: http://some.ly/Y2uDpk
