This is a great buy. It comes in really colorful gift box with a super-cool retro space feel. I imagine it would make a great gift. The food inside was a blast--chocolate and peanut butter (yum!) Space Food Sticks and three kinds of astronaut ice cream (chocolate with chocolate chips is my favorite). Also Tang-like packets called Splashdown with names like Intergalatic Grape.

The delivery speed was lightning fast and was sent Priority Mail. I notice Funkyfoodshop sells most of these items separately on Amazon. I will be checking those out, too.

This video starring Professor Retro comes from YouTube. It's good for a laugh.

so even though i did not like everything that was in the sampler (space food sticks are just like energy bars from the gym), the sampler was exactly what it said it would be, and then some. i was surprised by how much was in the sampler, you get a lot for your money. whats best is you get multiple ice cream bars, and those are great! just break off a piece and let it melt on your tongue and youll see it really is ice cream! took it to a backyard bbq and it was a hit! have not tried the peaches or apples yet, but the ice cream alone makes this a five star product!

The product I received includes 3 packages of ice cream, 2 space food sticks, 2 drink mixes, and 2 packages dried fruit. The food is tasty. My main complaint is that the ice cream packages are small- they only hold one serving each, and I have bought astronaut ice cream before that contained at least 2 servings per package. This product is worth the sale price ($20), but I don't think it's large enough to be worth $30. Also, the product description is misleading- I only received 2 drink mixes and 2 food sticks- also, no poster. The product contains less than you are led to believe.

The items you get with this package are good quality. The kids think it's pretty cool that they are eating "astronaut food". Others have said they are expensive for what you get, but it's kind of a novelty item and the variety was good for the price. My problem was that the package showed up missing 5 of the listed items. First reaction was to return to Amazon for a refund, but instead I emailed the seller and told them my Amazon shipment was missing items. Within 24 hours I received a reply asking for my address so that they could ship me the missing items. I received the missing items in just a couple days. Sure, it would have been nice to received the items together all at once, but the seller making good on an honest mistake was greatly appreciated!

I bought this for my mother's 50th birthday. She loved space-food sticks as a kid but it was more of a nostalgia thing than a "tasted amazing" thing. We all know space-food sticks taste like modeling clay. But this assortment of food with the retro space-food sticks magnet was perfect.

She loved the gift and the dried cinnamon apples and peaches were delicious! I wish they sold them in large quantities outside of the space-food package.

(The strawberry section of the space ice cream was delicious as well)

**First time review in Amazon**
I thought the space food was great...
The freeze dried apples were DELICIOUS!!! They were extremely good - Crunchy, tasty, sweet apples with a little bit of cinnamon. I would buy a box of just that.

The Ice cream were really good too and really cool/weird/interesting to eat. They are nearly weightless and rectangular freeze dried ice cream cubes that melt in your mouth and really taste like ice cream when they melt in you mouth. Pretty cool.

The bananas I didn't like that much -- others may like them. They were too sweet for me.

The protein sticks are like little bigger tootsie rolls kind of but a little less sweet and more proteins and vitamins. But that in no way shape or form did it stop my hunger at anytime... they are little snacks kind of. They were good also tasted like chocolate.

So if you want to tried Freeze Dried Astronaut food well here is your chance finally :P I think you will like the ice creams and LOVE the APPLES.

Loved this.Got it for a gift,but i tried some too.Really gives you a decent sample of some space ice cream.I really enjoyed this,and will order more in the future!!!!!

My son loves the Astronaut Ice Cream which is why I searched and found this product. He definitely enjoyed the packaging (cool little box it came in) and he enjoyed that I found the product he loves to buy at the museums so the gift was not a bust but the quantity was too small to justify the price. There is more info in the description now about what you get but I was surprised to get so little. Simply you get 3 of the astro ice cream packs that you would buy in the museum gift shops plus a few small items that were not of much interest to my son. It would be less than half the cost to buy him 3 packs of the astro food at retail (museum shops).

Check the bulk packs of 10 of the astro ice cream from the same supplier/seller. These are about a 1/3 more expensive right now compared to the sampler but you get more than 3 times the quantity of astro ice cream. I gave 3 stars instead of 1 or 2 because it is a unique and sort of cool gift for someone who likes this astro ice cream. They would get 5 stars if the quantity was fair - say 5 of the astro ice cream which would be 15bucks at the gift shops then the other stuff and packaging is maybe worth the extra 5bucks.

I bought this for my nephew for christmas and though I haven't given it to him yet I know he's going to love it; any boy would (can't speak for girls though I'm sure they would like it too). I love freeze dried ice cream myself and the space camp theme is great.

Great price! I'm amazed at the hard to assemble collection of Space Food.
They taste great for all occasions. You don't need to be camping or on a Russian Soyuz rocket.
