Krispy Kreme doughnuts have come in many quirky collections that celebrate holidays or pastimes. Different flavors and colors can get you in the mood for anything. Now, they are unveiling a Pac-Man collection to celebrate the dot-muncher’s 45th anniversary.
According to the official Krispy Kreme site, there are three types of commemorative Pac-Man doughnuts. The site describes them as follows:
“An unglazed shell doughnut filled with rich, chocolate-flavored Kreme. Topped with sleek black icing and a Pac-Man-inspired maze design, this game-ready treat features a colorful Team Ghost topper for a nostalgic finishing touch.”
“Power up your taste buds with this unglazed shell doughnut, filled with a burst of strawberry-flavored Kreme, dipped in vibrant red icing, with white sprinkles on top. To complete the look, it’s crowned with green leaf icing.”
“Get ready to celebrate with this Original Glazed doughnut, piped with vibrant yellow buttercream flavored icing and sprinkled with festive celebration sprinkles, adding a burst of color and fun. To top it all off, a playful Pac-Man sits proudly, ready to join the party. It’s time to power up and enjoy the ultimate Pac-Man party!”
Of course, an anniversary promotion won’t be around for long. The Pac-Man doughnut box will only be available until June 1st, so grab them while you can. In addition to the doughnuts themselves, Krispy Kreme is offering various promotions, such as randomly giving out Original Glazed doughnuts during the “Hot Light Hours” of 7-9 AM and 5-7 PM. In addition, on May 22d, which is Pac-Man’s actual 45th birthday, you can get a dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for 25 cents with the purchase of any regular dozen doughnuts.
Even after forty-five years, Pac-Man remains as relevant as ever. If you’re in the mood to try more Pac-Man food, a Pac-Man-themed cookbook will also be released this month. If you’re interested in playing Pac-Man in the style of a dark metroidvania, you can try Shadow Labyrinth, which releases later this year. As we play our complex open-world games that take hundreds of hours to complete, we should still remember how a little yellow circle took over the gaming world as he ran from ghosts.
