If you are anything like me this was the item at the Museum Gift Shop (see, or more accurately listen to, episodes of the superb The Museum of Everything (BBC Audio) ad nauseum) that you were never allowed, well Mum, you never bet on me growing up, having my own money, and suddenly finding this on Amazon with free delivery, did you eh?!
The plus points about this item are that it actually does taste quite a bit like ice cream, is definately not unpleasant, and makes a really cool (and inexpensive to send onwards, esp. overseas) gift for a freind, as well as being interesting to look at.
To be honest though, Mum and Dad probably were partially right - on the downside it always arrives broken (even Pic #2 shows it broken before arrival - 'Serving Suggestion' indeed!), is probably dearer than Gold or Saffron per gram, and contains all the calories of usual said creamy treat with a lot less of the enjoyment. You couldn't put a flake or sprinkles with this block!
Although pitched as a 'educational toy' and aimed at kids, I'm not sure what they would learn from this. Apart from, perhaps, be careful what you spend your pocket money on?

I bought two of these. One for my friend and one for my brother. I tried my friend's one when she opened it and it's awesome! It's exactly what you would imagine freeze dried ice cream to taste like. It's crunchy, melts in your mouth when you suck on it and it tastes surprisingly identical to ice cream. Not too expensive if it's a one time thing for a gift.

I don't have much of a review here, but I can say the chocolate part actually did taste like chocolate ice cream, or a chocolate drink. The strawberry part tasted like a generic strawberry flavour, not unpleasant, about what you would expect. The vanilla didn't really taste like much of anything. The flavours aren't quite as strong as real ice cream, and the texture is more gooey than creamy since you have to suck it a bit first to liquify it.
The "slice" is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, fairly small, and probably not worth the price unless you plan to keep it for the novelty value.

Great present, but do take care it doesn't crumble before opening!
I purchased this for my Dad's birthday, due to his love for NASA etc. It arrived in perfect condition, however it crumbled when I stored it. Read more

Expensive but good
Yes it is over-priced and breaks easily, but it is suprisingly tasty. A kid would definitely get a kick out of it.
