Nintendo Cereal System, remember this? Of course you don’t! I think it was on the market less time than Pamela Anderson’s vagina. All it really was is one giant commercial for two Nintendo games and geniusly packaged as two different kinds of cereal in one box, separated by bags. And get a load of the name, Nintendo Cereal System….it sounds so incredibly dyslexic, I guess I get what they were going for but seriously what the hell were they thinking?
One of the biggest draws, I suppose was that it gave you useless gameplay tips. I ate this cereal once and the tip was for Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link. It said something along the lines of “when you receive the up-thrust (that’s really what it was called) press “Up” and “B” to execute. What a lousy fucking tip. The Nintendo controller has two God damn buttons; it would have taken you 2.7 seconds to figure out. Check out the hand drawn pictures on the cover too. If Nintendo owned the rights to the games and its likeness why would they pay someone to draw it? And draw it so utterly fucking poor as well.
Ahhh..yes than of course we have Spiderman cereal. I feel like this one may be a little more familiar to people but maybe not. I’m only writing about it because it’s so delicious. Picture Chex cereal without the dual sides AND marshmallows. It might even be my favorite cereal of all time. Fuck it, I’m going to E-Bay that shit right now and see if I’ll be able to brighten my mornings and gladly risk death for a week.
