Customer Rating: Summary: Astronaut Food 2008-01-18 Comment: Any of us who grew up during the U.S. space age should use items like this as a way to introduce today's kids to the excitement of the late '60s/early '70s. This is an inexpensive and fun gift (buy several -- they won't go stale! -- including some of this ice cream for yourself to feel young again.) Last Christmas my 9-year-old niece made a face over the freeze-dried strawberries (they were indeed a bit sour) and seemed to turn her nose up at the chicken-and-rice meal. I thought my cool idea had been a bust. This year, however, she reminded me of the astronaut food and requested more. Score!
