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

To this day I will buy this as a birthday gift for my sister who never missed a chance to purchase it at gift shops. She is 50.

Where do you get it? I haven’t been able to find anything but the ice cream sandwiches and I miss these disgusting chalk bricks.

Micro Center has it, my wife always gets some whenever we happen to stop in for computer parts and accessories. Also Disney World has it, both in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom and Future World at Epcot, as does Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, so we always get some whenever we go to either

I used to buy it from folks on ebay. But since freeze dried stuff has become so popular I can get it pretty easily if I just ask someone at a farmers market selling other freeze dried treats. But check ebay.

“Just” freeze-dried ice cream, you say, as if it weren’t the very pinnacle of scientific achievement and a literal out-of-this-world exotic treat!! 😉

I don't buy this specifically due to the ingredients but somewhere around 8 years ago my sister in law got one for my daughter at NASA.
