Are we all forgetting how it’s made? It’s normal ice cream thats gone through lyophilization, simply put it just doesn’t have any water in it. What your eating is literaly, dry ice-cream.

I absolutely love freeze-dried ice-cream — my friend bought me a 12 pack for my birthday once. I don’t know, there’s just something about the texture that’s really great.

I’d call it a dessert or a snack, though. Candy makes sense, logically, but it just doesn’t *feel* like candy when you’re eating it.

i had never heard of this stuff until I went to Florida two years ago… and my first taste was straight from the source! I went to Kennedy Space Center where they had it for four dollars. I fell in utter love, but didn’t go as far as my friend, who bought nine packages!

Oh, this stuff is the BEST! I’m totally addicted to it, and it IS sad. I wish it wasn’t so expensive! I’m glad to know I’m not the only person in the world who would love to see this stuff in the supermarket!

Oh my God, I LOVE that stuff! I had no idea that you could buy it in bulk! I must get some, it’s so good! I haven’t though about astronaut ice cream in years but now I think I NEED some, this is bad!
I’d definitely call it candy though, it’s not substantial enough to be a dessert.

i first tried freeze dried ice cream when i was in middle school at a science museum. then i got lucky and a candy store in the mall carried it. once that closed, i found it online at funkyfoodshop.com. it’s only $1.85 a package! they ship really fast and i’ve never been unhappy with them

I absolutely love freeze dried ice cream! I didn’t like the ice cream sandwiches, though. Just the neopolition. I noticed that it does kind of taste like the marshmellows to me, only better. I wouldn’t consider it candy, but I suppose I would consider it dairy. Yum.

im afraid im from europe so i cannot eat anything the beaurocrats in brussels have decided is bad for me.
im so lucky to have these people looking out for me and protecting me from this sugary junk food.
BTW- when i travel to america i dont feel the need to discard the contents of my suitcase to make room for lucky charms and astronaught ice cream to take back home;-)
BTW- i have to import lucky charms for $17 a box:-(
BTW- i cant even get astronaught ice cream:-[]
sorry, what i meant to say was- astronaught ice cream is candy. and its awesome!

in my opnion its like candy, becausse its not really ICE cream. I LOVE the mint chocolate chip, and it really does have the flavor of that ice cream, but i still see it as candy
