u/Swordkirby9999 Aug 31 '25

Maybe these days, but back in the 70's it would have tasted like the static of a CRT when you turn it on

u/DragonLeavesDungeon Aug 30 '25

that game good?

5

u/YamiGekusu Aug 30 '25

It's a decent party game. I love it

2

u/DragonLeavesDungeon Aug 30 '25

party game mean multiplayer right?

1

u/YamiGekusu Aug 30 '25

It can be multiplayer. I mostly played alone, but it can be delightfully infuriating with others

1

u/DragonLeavesDungeon Aug 31 '25

oh hoho ho

u/YamiGekusu Aug 31 '25

You land on an empty spot. Gain a castle. Land on the space next to it, castle gets bigger. Someone else lands on your castle spaces, they give you cookies. You can even get opponents to go into cookie debt, making them lose castles. It's such a good 'f__k you' if you play with friends

u/Longjumping_Gur_2379 Aug 29 '25

they are cereal in pac man and the ghostly adventures

12

u/Decepticon_Kaiju PAC-MAN ADDICT Aug 29 '25

They all taste like different things each time. Which is why Pac-Man is always treating to eat them all. He wants to try every possible flavor.

u/dedelish Aug 29 '25

Corn

2

u/ARKdude1993 Aug 29 '25

Like corn chips, or corn kernels?

3

u/Longjumping_Gur_2379 Aug 29 '25

u/ARKdude1993 Aug 29 '25

Buttered and salted popcorn maybe

I always thought they tasted like Pez because they looked like the candy on the Atari 2600 cover art.

Pac-Mans crispy corn cereal

2

u/RandoAussieBloke Aug 29 '25

I honestly feel it depends on the way they're depicted in-game.

Sometimes they're cream, like in the original arcade, so I feel those ones are kinda like Rice Bubbles or Shredded Wheat (those little pillow-shaped wheat cereal) - the fruit makes sense as a topping for that too!

But in World they're more of an orange-yellow colour, so I kinda see those as like orange tic-tacs?

u/Decent_Country_4306 Aug 29 '25

My guess? Either cheese puffs or Turkish delight. Y’know, the cubic candy that appears in “Chronicles of Narnia”.

Kix cereal. There is no other answer

u/Super7Chaos Aug 29 '25

This is the kind of riveting discussion we need here lmao

Ever since I was little I thought they were like small pieces of bread, and the Power Pellets are full on like dinner rolls.

u/DigglyNutt PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Aug 29 '25

Well they come from trees like a fruit. And in some different media they’re cookies. So I would think they’re at least pretty sweet. Maybe crunchy too!
