Aaahhh.. the 1990s, the boomer generation, the period when processed food recipes contained “NOW WITH MORE SUGAR”, “FORTIFIED WITH SALT”. <\/p>\n\n
Cereals, hamburgers, fries, sodas, pizzas, waffles, chips, all kinds of food went there! And the mascots of each of the brands were used to sell the products in cartoons to the children of the time during advertisements. <\/p>\n\n
But it wasn’t just the advertisements to sell the new cereals with twice as much “chocolate”, there were the cartoons themselves, the movies, and of course the video games! All of this is available in a multitude of derivative products. <\/p>\n\n
Today we’re taking a look at some of the video games dedicated to junk food product placements. While these were present in large numbers when video games were promoted mainly to children, they are still present today.<\/p>\n\n
Here is a small selection of product placements for food in video games. The list is therefore not exhaustive. <\/p>\n\n
Don’t be surprised if your child suddenly asks you to look for pizzas from Pizza Hut only.<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n\n
A platform game from Capcom for the NES featuring Noid. Who? The mascot of Domino’s Pizza in 1990.<\/p>\n\n
In the same vein as Capcom’s other productions at the time (Chip And Dale, Mega Man, Duck Tales…) but more bizarre.<\/p>\n\n
