 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.

I loved the Pac Man cereal. This totally reminds me of watching Bugs Bunny cartoons on Saturday morning and playing our clunky old Atari. Good times! Comment submitted: 11/20/2012 (#9980) By Auntieneanie
Is there a web site that still sells this? I was pregnant when this became really popular and have been craving it again. Mmmm so relish. Auntieneanie@AOL.com Comment submitted: 11/11/2012 (#9853) By bigpop
