thick jelly, sweet and allegedly fruit-flavored, probably with some small
amount of oil and emulsifiers mixed in to keep it soft and also changing
the appearance. Have you ever seen the children's toy variously called
Slime, or something like that? It was kinda like fruit-flavored Slime. No
actual fruit was harmed in the production of this Space Candy.

Heck, I thought this was something developed by the space program for the
astronauts.  Perhaps it was. I remember being able to buy freeze-dried ice
cream.  And I *wanted* to, because it was what the astronauts ate.
