Product FAQ

  • Can I choose a flavor?
    That’s the beauty of this ice cream! You aren’t limited to just one flavor but you get to cover all of your bases with neopolitan, which includes vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. So whether you eat each flavor by itself or live on the wild side and eat different flavors at the same time, it will be like you are really up in space, or at least as far as your taste buds are concerned.
  • Does it melt?
    That’s another awesome quality of this ice cream. It has gone through a freeze-drying process so that it won’t melt. There is nothing worse than having to worry about your ice cream melting in your lap or having to eat it before it melts so that you get a dreaded brain freeze! 
  • Does it expire? 
    Nope, there is nothing that would make this ice cream go bad.

Cool Science Experiment!!!

Our little brick of astronaut ice cream was broken in several places. But it still tasted good. It was a fun treat for when my daughter's class was studying outerspace.

Not so great

The ice cream is a fun addition to a party. We bought it for my son to feel special at his party and then all of us got to try it. I thought it tasted like malted milk and I don't like malted milk so I wasn't thrilled. I don't think anyone loved the flavor but we all loved the idea. I would buy it again for someone as a cool treat but never again for our family.

!!!!!!!!
