Space Food
One giant leap for snack-kind
Mint Choc Chip
Indeed mere mortals like us will never experience any of the pleasures of space travel. But maybe that's not such a bad thing. Who wants to spend their day doing daft slow-mo somersaults for the camera before emptying their bladder into a plastic bag? Not us. Having said that it would be quite nice to sample some of that strange nosh they eat up there in the outer limits.
Ice Cream Sandwich
But what about the taste? Houston, we currently have neapolitan, mint choc chip and ice cream sandwich - and each one tastes exactly as it should, only a bit dryer. Understandable as Space Food is devoid of water crystals. We have to admit that the texture takes some getting used to but, to paraphrase JFK, "We choose to eat these things not because they are chewy, but because they are crunchy." Or something like that.

Hi, I'd like to buy this for a friend who is vegan - does the Neapolitan Ice-cream version contain egg?Jacqui Lewis, UK - 6th December 2011
Firebox says: Hi Jacqui, I am afraid this product contains dairy products.
They come a little smashed in their packet but they taste great and a nice alternative to the regular stuff!Lawrence, Northampton - 18th October 2011
Is the icecream sandwich gluten free?Laura Smith, London - 1st September 2011
Firebox says: I'm afraid not, sorry Laura.
This stuff is so weird! It tastes divine, has the texture of dry wall for about a second, then turns lovely... I will need to try the neopolitan now, YUMMY! Will there be any other space food varieties any time soon/in the next ten years?Ghost, Nocton - 11th May 2011
Are these veggie friendly? Thanks.Emily, Musselburgh - 10th March 2011
Firebox says: They sure are Emily.
Bought this as a gift for a friend, delivery was very fast but sadly the warehouse staff seems to be in need of retraining.
The package arrived with the fragile freeze-dried food on top of the protective air cushion, the product was therefore pressed up against the lid of the box and as a result at least one feels almost completely pulverised, haven't checked the actual damage yet since it's meant as a gift.
Very disappointed, might as well have been shipped without any cushioning.Andreas, London - 4th February 2011
Firebox says: Sorry about that, our packaging is normally perfect!. Please get in touch with us via info@firebox.com so we can sort this out for you.
Just wondering if this product has nuts or any traces of nuts possible ?Lewis, Onchan, Isle Of Man - 12th December 2010
Firebox says: Whilst there is no nuts in the product itself, it is packaged in a factory which also packages products with nuts, so we would play safe and say don't risk it.
I was just wondering. Why does everyone keep mentioning complimentary bags of sweets when orders are received? I am asking for these for Christmas!!Jenna Myles, Yorkshire - 1st December 2010
Firebox says: We include a complimentary bag of sweets with all orders Jenna!
I don't know if it was just my packet, but then I put some in my mouth, it tasted like badly artificially flavoured rocks that didn't even melt in my mouth, disgusting.Alex, Ipswich - 27th November 2010
Don't know what to make of the mint choc chip... it seemed like big clumps of powder that you put in your mouth and it dissolves into a rather strange taste! Completely different to what I expected. Dunno if thats bad or good though. Did make me feel a bit more spacey though!!Adam, South Wales - 3rd November 2010
