Alien Ice Cream

When you were a kid, did you ever go on a field trip to a museum where you were able to buy freeze-dried astronaut ice cream, just like the astronauts ate? I remember being so excited about it. Well, it's still around! If you live near Houston or Cape Kennedy, chances are you can pick it up in person in any souvenir shop or maybe even drugstores. But even if you don't live anywhere near a NASA center, you can still get astronaut ice cream -- or the "new" version, Alien Ice Cream -- from lots of places online, including the Perpetual Kid website.

Trust me, kids just entering their Star Wars phase will love this! In addition to a fun stocking stuffer, these would make great party favors (in which case you might want to buy a pack of 10 from Amazon, which will save you a little money per item).
