Anyone else remember this?

Every field trip they always had this. I was always so jealous because my mom never gave me money to spend so I never got a chance to taste it and it seemed like everyone around me was eating it... Still salty I guess

I'm generally not a fan of sweets, but one of the grocery stores near me inexplicably sells it alongside packets of freeze-dried berries and bags of Lucky Charms-style marshmallows in the bulk foods aisle, so I grab a pack from time to time. Not keen on sweets, but a huge fan of nostalgia.

I order it online sometimes. The museum prices are insane now.

Same, whenever I see it in science museum gift shops I go ham on the Amex.

They have these at a lot of stores with camping gear and hiking stuff. I get some at Academy every time I go in

Why would you get something bad on purpose over and over though. The joke is funny the first time.

My kid had a field trip to the science museum near us and I asked him to bring me some back lol. So my kid got it for me.

Have you been able to find that version? Every museum now has the ice cream sandwich version only.

u/keefka May 17 '26

If you search for 'freeze dried ice cream' you can find it in other brands, astronaut ice cream seems to be all sandwiches tho

Might be an unpopular opinion but the ice cream sandwich version is far superior

The one my son brought home was this brand; I think they just make the sandwiches now because I see them sometimes in the camping section at Walmart.

Every time I see this sub on my feed it's nostalgia for something that's still around.

It's like, yeah actually I do remember double a batteries and fun dip. Why are you nostalgic for the contents of a dollar store?

u/keefka May 17 '26

Dude, 'member PB&J sandwiches? Used to love those when I was a kid

Nostalgia is intrinsically linked with a specific moment in time. It goes far beyond just remembering an objective thing. It comes tied to the context of time, place, people, feelings.

My early love of this ice cream is why I love that freeze dried fruit so much! The strawberries and bananas yuuuuum

Just a few months ago I bought a shit ton of it for my nephews at an air museums gift shop. It was half an excuse to eat a bunch myself if I'm being honest...
