• How to Eat Your Favorite Video Game

    Although Donkey Kong Cereal and the Nintendo Cereal System may be long gone from store shelves, there’s certainly no dearth of ways to eat your favorite games today.

    (All right, so maybe I’m the only one who contemplates how to eat a video game, but bear with me here.)

    For starters, in celebration of the release of Mega Man 10, a Japanese candy company has come out with this tin of fruit-flavored Mega Man candies, with one flavor for each of Mega Man’s upcoming nemeses:

    It seems GoNintendo has beat us to using the "Rock Candy" pun!

    And I was recently alerted to this group of Space Invaders cookies, from a gallery of “geeky” cookies on Huffington Post:

    Set phasers to "scrumptious!"

    And of course, Robot Vaudeville has blogged plenty of times before about classic gaming delicacies…

    There was a whole blog post dedicated to game-inspired cupcakes, for example:

    Really tastes like alligator and banana!

    And Pac-Man made not one, but two appearances, first as a cream-filled bun:

    I thought he was based on a pizza...

    And then as a cake:

    Give him a taste of his own medicine: chomp back!

    And then there was that time some animation cels from a Donkey Kong Cereal commercial were up for sale! But you can’t eat them, so I won’t link them here.

    Oh, what the hell: Retrogaming Auction Round Up.

    Anyway, when you’re all done, you can wash them down with some coffee in these arcade-inspired mugs:

    The original "java" games! Eugh...

    Or whatever floats your boat in these Atari shot glasses:

    There are no Atari drinking puns, thank God.
