I seem to recall eating these in the US before 71. They had a weird taste, but were from space, so they were cool. Like Tang.

One way I sustained myself thru my 8 and 9 AM courses in college.

A friend has described the taste as 'rancid Tootsie Rolls'

I disagree, they were cardboard tootsie rolls. But from Space!

These were the highlight of our school lunches in my family. I'm pretty sure they were just candy. But the word "space" was, well, kinda like the word "AI" right now.

Their taste was secondary to me. They were one of the few snacks that didn't stick to my braces too badly, so I devoured them at every opportunity.
