*** PRAISE THE LINE EATER!!! OH HOLY ONE, EATER OF DATA... *** I seem to remember that when I was a young kid (1970's), I used to love to eat these little cylindrical food sticks that weren't spicy like jerky, nor were they real sweet. I think the name was something like 'Moon sticks' or something. Does anyone out there in net.land remember what these wonderful things were called, and if they are still available somewhere? Danke.

They were known as Space Food Sticks, and tasted about like what you might expect Moon dust to taste. I haven't seen them in years. As I remember, they had a chocolate flavor, a caramel one, and a peanut butter. Pretty cosmic stuff. John Rosenberg AT&T NS ihnp4!ihu1m!johnnyr Ecce homo, ergo elk.
