Why Food Brands Are Making Everything Taste Like Space | Eater
"A craft ice cream maker built an entire imagined galaxyscape into a themed collection that leans more toward sci‑fi fantasy than literal astronomy. Pints like Punk Stargonaut and Supermoon use bright, playful combinations—Supermoon’s baby‑blue-and‑pale‑yellow swirl made with marshmallows and candied violet has a Lucky Charms–like, artificial sweetness—while others (Nebula Berry, Purple Star Born, Cosmic Bloom) layer familiar fruits (raspberry, blueberry, Concord grape, tangerine, kiwi, passion fruit) with floral or dairy notes to create subtle, hard‑to‑pinpoint twists. The approach grounds each flavor in something recognizable, then unfolds additional, mysterious layers as the ice cream melts, aiming to transport the eater to an imagined otherworldly place." - Bettina Makalintal
