Weekly Retro Cereal: donkey Kong




King of kong was a documentary about the greatest donkey kong players in the world. I wonder if they ate this cereal... 
with the early/mid 80's came the  huge breakthrough in the video game market! if it wasnt for the 80's gamers we wouldn't have the games we do today. With the video games came marketing potential and this was one of them. donkey kong cereal was made in 1982 and for some reason i remember seeing it but according to resources it was only around for abotu a year...maybe i imagined it .  from what is said of this cereal is that it tasted alot like captain crunch and the cereal pieces were shaped like barrels.
*fast fact- mario wasnt called mario originaly nor was he a plumber, if anything his name was jump man and he was a construction worker tryign to save his floozy*
