Miss 2600 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I saw this ad on a cool blog called "Branded in the 80s." It was in a Woman's Day magazine. Did anyone take these back in the day? I was a Flintstones kid. I don't remember Pac-Man vitamins at all. If my mom saw them in the grocery store, she definitely would have bought them for me because I was a huge Pac-Man fan; however, in 1983, I was 9 years old. I don't know how old you are when you stop taking these vitamins. Anyway, if anyone remembers them, what shapes were the vitamins? Pac-Man and ghosts or did they include fruit, power pellets (those would be boring), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickNixonArisen Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Uh... brilliant licensing idea, but wholly unsafe. I would be MUCH more likely to eat a whole bottle of anything if pacman is on the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRV Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Flintstones vitamins are still around, and Pac-Man's nowhere to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickNixonArisen Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yea, I have zero interest in rave culture, but that was always a pretty amazing little prophetic statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 That's definitely a blast from the past! I totally forgot about those lol. I do remember Pac-man cereal tho. My parents had to stop buying Flinstone's Kids vitamins because one time I almost OD'd by eating half the bottle and got sick. Those tasted like candies tho! Drats.

mbd30 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Turns out that quote actually originated from a British comedian. http://www.answers.com/topic/kristian-wilson It's still an awesome quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) If I remember,t hey were just round pills with a pic of pac/man or ghosts in the pills. Not nearly as fancy as the flintstones pills. [edit]Oops, I shouldread the whole post first Yep, that's them[/edit] I wish I still had some of those, it would just be cool to have abottle or two up on the shelf. Oddly I'm not that fond of pac-man the game, but I love the merch. Edited June 3, 2010 by Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I don't remember those, strangely... I was obsessed with Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man and always wanted any merchandise I could find. Made my parents buy me tons of the sticker packs, the cereal, the not-so-great ice cream bars, the lunchbox (which I still have... it holds my pencil collection, including the Pac/Ms. Pac pencils the machine at my school sold), anything. But I don't remember the vitamins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
