Easy access to gelatin and refrigeration was kind of new in the 50s.

It was partially a ploy by refrigeration companies to make the common ownership of newly-available refrigerators obvious and a point of pride/envy in suburban households.

It's the point where they stopped to be that, although the ice accumulated inside quickly so you could end with solid block of ice inside, and you had to defrost them often to prevent it.
