Growing up,
my mom would
buy me these
nutrition sticks.
***
The ad said, “It’s what astronauts eat”
And that was good enough for me.
***
But — they discontinued
that product a long time ago,
***
and yet, there are still astronauts.
***
Which leads me to my question,
Are we feeding them or what?

I’ve had those snacks too. Must’ve expired a long time ago 😂😅

Funny thing, I didn’t even like them, but each time I saw them, I wanted them; because, hey, the astronauts! Also they looked cool.

I don’t remember those but I remember drinking Tang because, “what the astronauts drink”. I think it is still around. Probably from the same batch back then.

Tang was verboten in our household, but that never stopped me from asking for it. Years later in college I roomed with a guy who only drank tang once a week — when he watched Saturday morning cartoons. Tang is a cartoon drink if there ever was one.

That is the perfect description of Tang. A cartoon drink.

:D Maybe you should establish “The Trefology Invite an Astronaut to Lunch Day”. It would be out of this world!

I ate the Space Sticks. I drank the Tang. I didn’t make it to NASA. I want a refund.

Wait a minute.
There were nutrition sticks that astronauts ate that were available on earth? How come I didn’t know about this?! Am feeling supremely ripped off right now.

I totally get it. My guess is that they are available on a planet for a brief amount of time before moving onto another planet. Only the Pillsbury company knows for sure, but if it’s done alphabetically, right now there is a chance you can find them on Neptune.
