To be fair to Chik-O-Stix . . .
Space Food Sticks were completetly different.
(And as awful as they were, were better than Chik-O-Stix)
Chik-O-Stix were all spikey and crunchy.
(Not good for eatin' in zero-gravity . . .
Might puncture the space suit and let all the air out.)
I am amazed that anyone would mention "Funny Face (Soft Drink Powder)" . . .
("Amazed", because I was trying to remember the name of the Kool-Ade (Aid?) knock-off featuring "Jolly Ollie Orange" and some less than appetizing "Lemon-Lime Larry" or whatever.
I wonder if the fine folks at "Funny Face" got slammed by the Kool-Aid copyright lawyers like Napster did . . . Nah, it was a simpler time . . .
Remember those Wham-O Kans you could buy like, at Duckwall's or Woolworth's or Kresge's to play Kick the Can?
(They didn't rust, had no sharp edges, resembled Nerf, and came with a helmet, eye-protection, and a radio-controlled "Helicopter Mom" action figure hovering over the padded playground.)
It was a last ditch attempt by Wham-O to partially recover costs connected with damages paid from The Great Hula Hoop/Frisbee/Water Pump-Up Rocket Class Action Lawsuit of 1962.
It was settled out of court and most people's attention was diverted by The Cuban Missile Crisis.
