Astronaut Foods Space Food - Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich

I see some people reviewing this item and giving it a poor rating because they did not like the taste... This bemuses me a little if I'm totally honest. This product consists of a free dried Ice cream sandwich, the purpose of which is to allow this food to be eaten in space. It is not freeze dried because they believe it will make the product better tasting. In my eyes reviewing this product on it's taste is pointless, and bordering the stupid line. Freeze dried products do not taste nice, do not expect it to. I purchased this product out of curiosity, as I'm sure most customer did, and quite frankly, the product is exactly as described, thus my 5* review. Don't purchase this product if you are looking for a tasty meal, you will be disappointed. If you are curious as to what astronaut food tastes like, then purchase this product. Note: It's highly likely that this product will be broken in places on arrival, as it's very fragile and will probably break during delivery.

Bought as an extra Christmas present for my partner, he was ecstatic as he loves space themed stuff that's unique and fun. He loved it and gave me a bite, but the bar came totally smashed to bits. The ice cream filling tastes like creamy vanilla flavoured custard, and has a texture similar to meringue when you bite it, but if you let it sit on your tongue for a few seconds and get some saliva on it, it starts to melt sort of like ice cream. The chocolate sandwich part is also tasty, much like a Bourbon biscuit. Good crunch on it. Altogether it was a great gift, but disappointed that it came so crushed. Tastes amazing, would have looked amazing, but for the price and long wait time, I wouldn't really say it's worth it... :(

I’ve never had anything freeze dried before, let alone an ice cream sandwich. I was lucky to receive mine completely intact, the vanilla is kinda overpowering but overall it’s got a great crunch and tastes pretty good.

My mom bought me this as a surprise and I was super excited. For anyone out there who's never had astronaut ice cream, do not expect this to taste like ice cream. It doesn't. It has a chalky texture that melts in your mouth and doesn't taste like ice cream in the slightest so just prepare yourself. Still, I totally love it.

If you were expecting to eat this like a proper ice cream sandwich think again. For the price I would have expected it to be packaged better. On opening it was smashed into tiny pixels meaning we had to eat it with a spoon. Good luck trying to eat this in space!

Good product

I know its dried food and a bit dusty but I at least expected to taste ice cream.

The deemed icecream bar has arrived completely flattened…. It is powder from the inside.
