Krispy Kreme's Pac-Man donuts give flavor, not fever
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — Krispy Kreme is looking to mine Gen X nostalgia with new donuts saluting the 45th anniversary of one of video gaming's greats. Starting Monday, May 12, the donut giant is offering three new options in honor of the 45th anniversary of the original Pac-Man. Team Ghost donut: an unglazed donut with chocolate-flavored cream inside, black icing, neon blue maze lines and a topper featuring Blinky (from left), Inky, Pinky and Clyde. Pac-Man Party donut: a glazed with yellow buttercream-flavored icing, sprinkles and a Pac-Man topper. Strawberry Power Berry donut: an unglazed with strawberry-flavored cream inside, with red icing, white sprinkles and green leaf icing. (The strawberry, the second of the 'fruits' Pac-Man could eat for bonus points, was chosen likely because it tastes better than other options such as the cherry, the orange, a Galaxian or a key.) As there aren't any standalone Krispy Kreme stores in the Miami Valley, people who want to Pac them away will have to visit your local Kroger, Walmart or other grocery that offer boxes of the donuts. Pac-Man debuted in Japanese arcades on May 22, 1980, though the state of record-keeping at the time makes that an estimate at best. It arrived in the U.S. later that year and quickly became the biggest arcade game of its time, out-earning even the original 'Star Wars.' It went on to generate sequels, spinoffs, pop songs, a Saturday morning cartoon, and loads of merchandise. Fifteen years ago, its 30th anniversary was even honored with a Google Doodle that you can still play. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Four Designs That Capture the Spirit of PAC-MAN: A168WEPC & F-91WPC – These models incorporate PAC-MAN and the four GHOSTS (Blinky, Inky, Clyde, and Pinky) into a bold, colourful face layout with vivid neon hues.
