It was to show off to everyone that you were rich enough to own a refrigerator. Somehow the jello culture managed to persist, especially in the upper Midwest. Thankfully I have never been witness to the Minnesotan tradition of women competing to see who could layer different flavors of jello the thinnest (I heard about this when I was in college). I hear 1/8 inch is about the thinnest they can go, and the concoctions are truly disgusting because of all the flavors that just should not be mixed... I guess this is another thing we can blame the 1920s for, along with popularity of suntans and women shaving their legs.
