Space Food Sticks went to the moon too

Pillsbury began advertising the sticks on television, as Space Food Sticks, clearly making the link to the space program.

The “perfectly balanced energy snack”

The consumer version of the “perfectly balanced energy snack” was slightly modified, and a shorter version of the food sticks eaten by astronauts. They came individually-wrapped, in similar flavors to what the astronauts enjoyed, like chocolate, caramel and peanut butter.

In 1973, a modified version of the commercially available Pillsbury Food Sticks was included on the third Skylab mission, as a NASA press release indicated.
