Your grandmother probably did have an ice box.

I was at a farmers market down here in Louisiana a couple of years ago. I bought some produce from a farmer that had to be in his 80's. As a gesture, he offered me up some free blood oranges. As I was walking away, he said, "Make sure you put them in the ice box for a few hours. That's the best way to eat them."

I was confused as hell. I couldn't understand why the dude wanted me to put my oranges in the freezer. What would be pleasurable about eating a frozen orange.

I found out later from my grandma that ice box is what the old folks call a fridge.
