5 Best Video Game-Branded Cereal Boxes From the Past

Donkey Kong Cereal

Recommended Videos

Donkey Kong Jr. wasn’t the only Nintendo character to get his line of cereal. Donkey Kong branded cereal hit store shelves in 1982 and survived for three years under company Ralston Purina (yes, the same Purina that now sells pet food).

The Donkey Kong Cereal was said to be very similar to Cap’n Crunch, but rather than the pillow-like shape Cap’n Crunch is known for, the Donkey Kong line came with barrel-shaped puffs, fitting in with the theme of the game nicely.

Although the cereal itself didn’t last long, the commercials that were created to advertise it were timeless and gave us some of the most impressive Nintendo themed animation we have seen to date.
