I'm No Astronaut - But Damn I Love Space Ice Cream!


When I was a kid, the Baylis family traveled several times to Cape Canaveral in Florida to see Kennedy Space Center. While my brother bided his time being scared to death he'd be eaten by gators - I kept my eye on the prize - Space Ice Cream. It's a delicious treat for several reasons:
One, it never melts on your hands...only in your mouth. Secondly, it always comes in the ever-so-glorious Neopolitan flavor - a bit of chocolate, a bit of vanilla and a bit strawberry - whatever your fancy. And finally, it's portable and never goes bad.

Now, here's the even better part: You don't have to travel to Florida to get it. You don't even have to order it from Kennedy Space Center (don't think I haven't considered this people). You don't have to drive to the Indianapolis Children's Museum (which I've done). You don't have to visit the Discovery Store at Keystone (which I've also done).

You just need to take a ride to your local Dick's Sporting Good Store, because it's called Freeze Dried Ice Cream for Campers, it's $1.99 and it's always readily available (unless I've just been there). In fact, I had to travel to Dick's today, for another sporting reason, mind you. Now, sitting before me is a package of the delicious wonder - and two more packages in my cabinet. Stay away! Go get your own - You won't even have to enroll in the Space Program at Nasa.
