History

It was first a simulated space ship, of one made by Aerojet-General Corporation, for Kraft to sell because it was in a limited market the first year. Nineteen U.S. cities had young people waiting in long lines for their chance to sit at the control panels they had from them. Kraft gave away the space ship as the top prize in the "Name the Space Training Ship" promotion they had going on.

In 1964 Jet-Puffed marshmallows began making Easter candies, cookies, and cupcakes. Kraft has offered a replica of the marshmallow dispenser that Spock used in the movie Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.[1]

Later, Kraft marshmallow business (including Jet-Puffed marshmallows) was sold to Favorite Brands International in 1995. Nabisco purchased Favorite Brands International in 1999 and Kraft Foods later purchased Nabisco in 2000, returning Jet-Puffed marshmallows to Kraft.

Flavors

Orange, chocolate and original. Other flavors include strawberry, lemon, and lime, as well as various seasonal flavors such as peppermint.
