Yes-

Hubby and I did a a fly-drive-camp vacation, before which I found a "deal" on freeze-dried ice cream. It was "OK" for a sweet treat, but crumbled and was a bit messy to eat. If I have to pack and carry something, I want to be able to consume ALL of it, not to waste any part of it. The "ice cream" had the texture of dehydrated marshmallow or maybe a freeze-dried mushroom, as a comparison, and not a lot of flavor beyond sweet, IMHO. I would not recommend it for a backpacking trip as it takes up too much space and the packaging is too heavy for its "benefits." I MIGHT consider it for a day hike, but a Hershey bar with almonds or an Almond Joy would provide a lot more taste for far less space. The plus side of the FD ice cream is that it can't melt.
