When I was a kid, my parents would buy these “space food sticks”. I loved those things. A bit softer than a Tootsie Roll, chewy, and with a nice chocolate flavor. Not really sure what was in them but I loved them because my heros, the astronauts, apparently ate these things in space. I’ve come to find out that they were made by Pillsbury from the original commercials I found above.

With Dylan’s recent trip to the Kennedy Space Center, grandma and grandpa bought him some of the freeze dried neapolitan ice cream. Dylan did not like it too much but I could not get it away from Parker. He not only ate the entire contents of package, but licked the wrapper and has asked for it every day since. The moment he started asking for it to be in his lunch at preschool, I knew my son was going to love all “space food”. Not to mention the fact that he will be a fantastic backpacker due to his love for freeze dried food. Haha

Guess I’ll have to stock up on freeze dried ice cream with summer approaching fast.
