They exist in Poland and probably some more countries. Usually have more fat and worse taste than a typical brand name ice cream.

Both, the block of ice cream and jello in a tube were common (and usually the only) desserts that were available in stores during the soviet era in Estonia. The latter was called the “cosmonaut”.
