1. Oh, geeze...
I do remember them. My mom decided they'd be a cool snack so she used to buy 'em all the time when I was in about...4th grade, I think? I thought they were nasty. Tasted like...I dunno. Nasty.

:puke:

4. The thing is...
they all tasted alike. They were s'posed to be different flavors but...

it was traumatic. I'm still trying to recover.

3. My mother made me eat those.
She also made me eat these things that looked like waffles and tasted (and felt) like styrofoam. Between the two, I'd pick the Space Sticks any day. That's actually how she got me to eat the Space Food Sticks. I had my choice between those two things. I still need some more therapy. :hi:

10. Closest I ever got to a candy bar when I was little!
Except for Halloween, no one in my
house got chocolate except for my mom.

She promoted SCIENCE, though, so we
got Space Sticks and Tang.

We were OVER THE MOON with joy!

17. But even the peanut butter ones...
...(which were the only ones that tasted anyhting near the thing they were named after) had that weird powdery...or I dunno...sandy?...consistency.

Oh my god...bad trip down memory lane!
