Review: Outstanding - I've purchased this item 3 times (qty.50, "emergency food") over 5 yrs.. they dissolve easily, and the flavors are 9 out of 10. I'll give my son one out of the blue, and he loves them. I'll continue to order these little Gems! Review: These are awful. - But, I knew that going on. I bought these to introduce my daughter to them. These freeze dried lies (astronauts never took these with them into space) are not delicious, the texture is off-putting, and they crumble into bits when you try to eat them. That being said, if you've never had this, you should try it. It was invented for astronauts to use, it's interesting, and your tastes are very likely different than mine (although, that doesn't mean you'll like these). Also, brings me back to my childhood and some gift shop from some museum or aeronautics museum, or maybe the Kennedy Space Center, or someplace that sold these in the 80s ... Disney world? Who knows. Ahhhh, the memories. ## Features - A CLASSIC TREAT. Enjoy our creamy ice cream sandwiches with a cosmic crunch.
