Space stick memories

We had them in Grade 6, 1971 or1972, where we were following an educational TV show - we were supposed to be on a space ship, made a wall out of cardboard to separate the class into two parts, and the educational part seemed to be record keeping - we had to keep track of who got what stick, and decode a message that told us that some of them might have been contaminated and we should isolate the ones that had eaten them. I've never used that particular skill in my later life.

They weren't particularly tasty, and they were marked with a square, triangle or circle on the foil wrapper for us to keep records off.
