Intergalactic Frozen Snacks

Freeze-Dried Ice Cream Brings Neopolitan Goodness Into Space

— June 15, 2011 — Lifestyle
You attach the word "space" to anything and you've got my interest, so when I stumbled upon Freeze-Dried Ice Cream with a picture of a rocket ship on the front, I pretty much erupted with joy.

Freeze-Dried Ice Cream is the real deal; it's what NASA astronauts eat when they want to indulge in an icy delicious treat. The futuristic food comes in neopolitan flavors of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate, but what I'm really curious about is the texture of the stuff. Is it harder or softer than regular ice cream? Is it icier? Does chocolate taste the same in space as it does on Earth? So many questions that can only be answered by giving this exciting intergalactic treat a try.
Trend Themes
1. Space Food - Developing food for space travel that tastes good and holds up in unusual conditions could be a disruptive innovation opportunity.
2. Freeze-dried Snacks - Creating appealing freeze-dried snacks for earthbound consumers who value non-perishable, portable snacks could be a disruptive innovation opportunity.
3. Nostalgia Food - Developing innovative food products that evoke memories and feelings of nostalgia, such as freeze-dried ice cream, could be a disruptive innovation opportunity.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry could benefit from exploring new and unique ways to produce and package food products, such as freeze-drying, for both space and earthbound markets.
2. Space Travel - The development of tasty and nutritious food products for space travel is a crucial aspect of the space travel industry, as it affects astronauts’ morale, productivity, and overall quality of life.
3. Tourism - Freeze-dried ice cream could become a popular snack in the tourism industry, specifically in science museums, gift shops, and exhibits that feature space-themed attractions.
