Snacks in Space! What would you take?

[Spaceman.Spiff]

I saw this tweet from the KSP account and thought it would be a fun forum discussion topic:

 

So what would you bring to space?
I would probably bring some Twix bars…

[Admiral Fluffy]

Skittles, even though they would get everywhere

[OrdinaryKerman]

Something that doesn't leave too many crumbs... M&Ms? Though I'd like to bring some chocolate wafers or a small tuna sandwich 

[Caerfinon]

Hawkins Cheezies. That is all.  

[kerbonautkazoo]

chocolates of some kind... maybe something cheesy as mentioned earlier. 

here's an idea: how about a liquid straw, inside your helmet, so as you jetpack on a planet you can suck on some pop or milk or whatever. easy portable drink!

 

Spoiler

(does a drink count as a snack?)

What about a BnL Cupcake-In-A-Cup?

Why not! I like to have a smoothie as a snack. And a liquid would be convenient in space. Just a big floaty snack orb to eat.

Well at first I thought "fig or protein bars" because you know, healthy all around snack. But then I decided "Peanut Butter Cups"!!! Because you know, chocolate and peanut butter!

something that won't go old quickly

I gotta say, I agree with that line of thinking! 

[SpaceFace545]

soup.

[Dientus]

The image of balls of liquid floating around remind me of space station footage of floating juice!

The only thing I can think of is them exploding out of the packet when it's opened, showering all the electronics in fine cheese dust. Magnificent.

 

I'll take a coke to drink in a low-pressure pure oxygen environment. Carbonated drinks must be quite different in space.

Oranges and gummy worms. It is my favorite two high sugar foods, though different sugars. 

[kerbiloid]

Me or Kerbals?

Kerbals probably would prefer a semi-rotten squid sushi with ammonia sauce.

And jelly-fish flakes.

[Wizard Kerbal]

Honey Maid, Made with real honey  Graham crackers. 

And if any of you don't know what Fresca is, it describes itself as, "Sparkling Soda Water." Basically, sparkling water with a taste. I then add Orange Tangerine water flavoring that makes it taste better.

So Graham Crackers and Orange Tangerine Fresca.

Urine?

[Admiral Fluffy]

I made up a Kerbal snack. It’s called Minmis Mush.

It looks like mint chocolate chip, but it tastes horrible.

Someone actually smuggled a sandwich to space once.

Ammonia?
You should urgently visit a doctor...
An exodoctor, as humans usually produce carbamide.

Back to the topic. It can't be urine, as it's a metabolic waste.
But as Kerbals don't have any signs of ethanol presence in their rockets, they probably lack the plants producing it.

And as the only inhabited Kerbals site is next to the sea coast, this means they depend on the seafood, and their dessert is something fro the sea, but with enforced shades of taste.
As the sea food hardly can give a sugar fermentation, it's probably some kind of rotting.

As the Kerbals should have oversensitive sense of the ammonia smell (to search and distinguish the maritime beasts), their sense spicy taste should be optimized for ammonia compounds.
(This also lets them to sniff even the lightest shades of hydrazine in the air, so they can safely use it as fuel and as perfum).

So, they should probably pour the semi-rotten fish and jelly-fish sauce into their dish, to get it more spicy.

[Admiral Fluffy]

@Kerbaloid, you’re overthinking it.

[kerbiloid]

The seafood is so healthy!

Visit the Jeb's Diner! Ask for Smelly Jelly Fish Dish!

[Geonovast]

Moved to The Lounge since it's not about KSP.

[Spaceman.Spiff]

I think Jello in space would be cool. 

[kerbiloid]

Yes.
Especially in the vent pipe.

[cubinator]

Bugs!

I love alll the crunchy, crumbly things that get everywhere in space, like croutons and crackers...so maybe I should bring a lot of peanut butter to hold them together!
