The jello would not set, so she boiled another unflavored package of 
gelatin with a small amount of water and added it to the Kiwi jello. It 
still has not set. It has been in the refrigerator for three days and is 
still like water. 

Does Kiwi have something in them that counter acts the gelatin? Why won't 
it set firm?
