 Pac-Man 
From: General Mills
Introduced in 1983 Pac-Man Cereal hit the shelves in 1983, capitalizing on the huge success of the arcade game Pac-Man which had taken America by storm the since it's introduction in 1980. The cereal was a "crunchy sweetened corn cereal with marshmallow bits". The marshmallows were shaped like Pac-Man, and the game's ghost characters: Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde. The cereal later introduced Ms. Pac-Man marshmallows with a "a shocking pink bow" and Super Pac-Man marshmallows which were just larger versions of existing Pac-Man marshmallows. Animated children eating the cereal in commercials referred to themselves as "ghost chompers". The cereal was said to taste like an extra-sugary version of Kix Cereal with marshmallows. Known premiums: send-away offers for a "Ghost Chomper" hat or Pac-Man game watch, entry details to win a full-sized Pac-Man arcade game or a mini electronic version of the game, a cut-out Pac-Man mobile, and send-away offers for a neon camera (Canada), a Pac-Man bowl or a Pac-Man ring.

OMG! I totally forgot about this. I begged and begged my mom for this cereal and I can't believe I just blocked it out of my mind. Childhood deliciousness! Me and my neighbor would even do the Pacman dance with the commercials on Saturdays. Great memories! Comment submitted: 8/28/2010 (#2746) By wookie
Delicious and fun cereal. But it also promoted pac-man cannibalism as you can see Mr. Pac-man eating little Mrs. Pac-man marshmallows on the boxes. Comment submitted: 6/29/2010 (#2369)  By macdoyal (Team Breakfast Member)
This cereal actually made you feel like PAC-man and was so fun eating when I was a kid. It was pretty yummy too. Comment submitted: 6/13/2010 (#2287) View all 10 comments for this cereal. |
