As probably one of the biggest Pac-Man fans on the Internet, I had to tell you all about these “Gamer Gummies” I found out about featuring Pac-Man and also Tetris. So let’s take a look at them!
Here’s the front of the Pac-Man bag of gummy fruit snacks. I’ve always thought Pac-Man would be the perfect candidate for fruit snacks. I wish they had these when I was little. I loved fruit snacks as a kid. My favorite were the Garfield ones. Anyone remember those? Anyway, you can’t see it as well in this picture, but in the bottom left corner is a seal that says it’s an officially licensed product from Bandai Namco. And the symbol they used is the Special Flag, which was first in Rally-X and has kind of become one of Namco’s signature items you can see in a lot of their games.
And here’s the back of the bag.
Here are all the shapes. You’ve got Pac-Man, three colored ghosts, and a cherry.
I hate to admit it, but if there is a game out there that’s even more iconic than Pac-Man, it’s probably Tetris. Or maybe Minecraft. But I like Tetris better. So here’s the bag of the Tetris fruit snack gummies. They say it includes a bonus shape? What could that be?
Here’s the back of the Tetris bag.
And here are the shapes. I made a little game out of it. And the bonus shape is a bear head. The company that makes these is called “Powerbear” so I guess that’s why.
So where did I find these? Well I’ve seen where you can get them at Walmart, but I didn’t see them in stores. But you can get them online on Walmart’s web site. They are a bit spendy, though, especially the Tetris ones. The Powerbear company also makes Space Invaders Gamer Gummies, but the only way I could find to get those is to order them directly from their site, and you have to order a whole case of them so I wasn’t going to do that. But that’s all for now! Later! –Cary
EDIT: A couple of weeks later and I was able to find the Space Invaders Gamer Gummies! They were on sale along with the others at a Brookshire’s, a local Texas small town grocery store chain. Here’s the front of the bag:
And here’s the back.
And here’s all the shapes.
