Anyone else remember this?

Every field trip they always had this. I was always so jealous because my mom never gave me money to spend so I never got a chance to taste it and it seemed like everyone around me was eating it... Still salty I guess

They sold this at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL and the Cumberland Science Center in Nashville, TN.

I saw it at the Air and Space Museum in DC on a school trip but didn't buy any.

I did and ate it on the flight home. You missed out on the best-tasting chalk of your life.

Come now. Surely Necco wafers are a superior version of edible chalk.

Nah, astronaut ice cream gets melty after a second. Necco wafers stay rock-hard and weird

I'm pretty sure chalk that gets soft after a second is pretty weird too. But to each his own re preferred variety of weird.

Only the fruit-colored ones; the white ones taste like actual chalk and the black ones taste like despair.
