And yet people still choose to eat jello mayonnaise in the 50s.

A thing to remember about the many questionable recipes from this era is that they were built upon novelty. Jello and mayo existed earlier, but by the 50s they'd transitioned form ingredients that would be a difficult and time consuming to make and use to common prepared staples.

Also: the combination is not nearly so disgusting as you might expect.
