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".

    They were the best. Still am wondering until what year they were sold, because I was born in 1985 and clearly remember having to deal with my father in the grocery store for him to buy me some, real early 90's.

    The Pacman cereal should be brought back. It was so good since I love cereals with Marshmallows and Pacman is a great video game icon. He and Donkey Kong and Mario were around when I was born back in 1982 and I play thier other video games all the time. Pacman knows how to chomp on the ghosts when he gets a power pellet.

    Yes, this cereal was the best. The cereals of the 80's were on another level. I would love it if we could also bring back Smurfs cereal with marshmallows.
