Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich

11/10/2013

Our goal for World of Snacks is to be the premier international supplier of the best snacks in the world, no matter their origin.  So far we have explored candy, cookies, and chips from 27 different countries.  For this snack review we are staying home in the United States and looking at a treat that is truly out of this world!
Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich
Our American snack comes from a family owned business out of Colorado named American Outdoor Products.   This US based snack company specializes in gourmet food for the outdoor adventurers, spices, and Astronaut foods.  That’s right, we said Astronaut foods!  As you may have guessed from the title of this blog we are reviewing the American Outdoor Products Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich.
Astronaut ice cream, or as it’s sometime referred to as space ice cream, is really freeze dried ice cream.  Freeze drying is the removal of water using air pressure.  All the liquid is subtracted leaving a compact version of the initial item.  This new food item, or in our case an ice cream sandwich, comes back to life as you eat it, and if stored in an airtight pouch lasts considerably longer.  The Whirlpool Corporation initially developed the technology for the NASA Apollo missions and from what we can tell American Outdoor Products produces this space snack as a novelty item. Enough about the facts, lets get on with our for first space taste test!
Unlike many of our previous international taste tests this is not the first time we have sampled an Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich. This treat is rare in the US but often found at museums, something our family visits often while on vacation.  We always look forward to purchasing space ice cream from the gift shops and we were all excited to see we’d be reviewing this treat.  The Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwich is our favorite and as you can imagine it tastes like an ice cream sandwich!  It’s very crunch and firm but as the moisture of your tongue hits this treat it comes back to life.  The cream center is foamy and the cookie outside is extra crunchy.  The snack tastes fresh and is fun to eat at the same time.

Will World of Snacks offer Astronaut Ice Cream Sandwiches for sale when our international snack store launches?  The answer is a firm yes.  Our shop will offer American Snacks for sale that will be shipped all across the world and we will carry this item.  Our snack store launches at the first of the year with British Snacks and American Snacks will follow sometime in the first part of the year.  If you’d like to stay up to date with our progress and snack offerings be sure to leave you details to the right.
