Frequently Asked Questions about Space Food Sticks...

What are Space Food Sticks™?

Space Food Sticks™ are chewy energy snacks offering great-tasting between-meal nutrition. You can read about their role in the development of space travel on our Space Food Sticks Preservation Society page (click here).

If I was a fan of the original SFS will I like the taste of the new ones?

We hired internationally-renowned food scientist Mario Medri to re-engineer the formula based on original ingredients and existing samples. He worked with Kalman Vadasz of Richardson Brands, the "Michelangelo" of the confectionary business for over 40 years, to recreate the taste and texture of the originals. The results exceeded our wildest expectations. We hope you agree.

Are these healthy?

SFS are not meal-replacement bars (yuck!) but they do contain extra protein and are much better for you than your average candy bar.

What happened to the other version of Space Food Sticks™?

SFS aficionados rejoice: we're happy to announce the Sticks are back being sticks! The bite-sized pieces have been retired for good.

Can I purchase original Space Food Sticks™ memorabilia?

Yes. We're happy to announce great-looking t-shirts featuring the original Space Food Sticks™ logo are now available exclusively on funkyfoodshop.com as well as our Ebay store. Collectors note: for a limited time we are offering an official Space Food Sticks™ refrigerator magnet with every order of a full case of chocolate or peanut butter (limit one per customer).

If I don't want to buy a whole case what can I do?

One option is to purchase the Space Food Sampler. You will receive a chocolate and peanut butter stick with your order as well as a fun assortment of freeze-dried astronaut ice cream treats.

Any more flavors in the works?

Peanut butter and chocolate were the two most requested flavors which is why we started with them. Fans have also requested caramel, mint, berry, vanilla, and orange among others. If all goes well, we will bring more flavors back in the future.

Can I buy Space Food Sticks in a store?

Some of the more prominent places SFS are being carried include the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum (Washington, DC), American Museum of Natural History (New York, NY), California Science Center (Los Angeles, CA), Franklin Institute (Philadelphia, PA), Johnson Space Center (Houston, TX), and Boston Children's Museum (Boston, MA). If you want to find out if there is a location near you please send us an email and we'll let you know.

What can fans of Space Food Sticks™ do to spread the word?

Please feel free to link to us, post feedback on blogs, write us emails, call your newspaper, recommend us to a local retail outlet. The sky's the limit! The thing that made Space Food Sticks™ survive all these years is the encouragement offered by their fans. Without that support the Sticks would have been lost in space forever.
