[i]SPACE FOOD STICKS - A chewy little "energy stick" developed for U.S. Aerospace Research has been made available to the public as a new idea in snack foods: although it tastes like candy, it's balanced nutrition. Developed by The Pillsbury Company under government contract, it was originally meant to be eaten only by the most exclusive "club" in the world - the men who will make long flights in space. Pillsbury scientists worked a year and a half to develop the new food. At that stage it was the nutrition "ideal" the government had specified, but flavour was only "pretty good". So Pillsbury flavor experts went to work to give it snack flavors. The result was a unique snack, Space Food Sticks. They are a little chewier and sweeter-tasting than the original spaceman food, tasty enough so children think they're candy. But with lasting energy, complete protein and balanced nutrition fully equal to the food men could live on in outer space.[/i]
