Feb 23 2010Invite Me Over For A Bowl!: Unopened Box Of 1988 Nintendo Cereal System Sells For $200
I know for a fact I used to eat Nintendo Cereal System growing up because I still have some Link bits stuck to the roof of my mouth. But had I known I could pawn unopened boxes of the deliciousness on eBay in 2010 for $200, I might have stockpiled the stuff (or at least saved the boxes, refilled them with Crunch Berries, and glued them back shut).
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL NINTENDO CEREAL SYSTEM FROM 1988 WITH TWO DIFFERENT CEREALS IN IT, SUPER MARIO BROS ACTION SERIES AND ZELDA ADVENTURE SERIES.
COMPLETLY SEALED IN THE BOX. IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR BEING A 22 YEAR OLD THIN CARDBOARD BOX. ONLY ONE DISCLAIMER IT WOULD NOT BE WISE TO EAT THE CONTENTS OF THIS BOX EVEN THOUGH I NO YOU WILL WANT TO. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT MENY TIMES MY SELF.
The box sold for $207.50 plus $4 shipping. So, which one of you bought it? And, more importantly, when are we eating it? I remember one of the cereals tasting like shit and the other one being good. Well I call the good one.
Hit the jump for an original commercial for the stuff.

10. blueZorro - February 23, 2010 2:21 PM
I wonder if that coupon is still good?
11. Jimmy Fury - February 23, 2010 2:26 PM
I seem to recall the Zelda side being the good one. The mario side tasted like cardboard and disappointment.
12. Blackheart - February 23, 2010 2:29 PM
Thanks for the mention btw,
i just love how the package says 'Fortified with 9 Essential Vitamins and Minerals' ...yeah right!

Fruity Pebbles is the only cereal I ever eat. I do remember this crap though because my brother made my mother buy it instead of Fruity Pebbles and I was pissed. Don't mess with my Pebbles......just sayin
14. Lizzard - February 23, 2010 2:40 PM
Berry & Fruity flavors. Is this like Trix but one side is Trix, the other is just the red colored Trix?
15. TerrorBite - February 23, 2010 2:51 PM
I wonder what 'Earthworm Jim' cereal taste like, yum yum.

Anyone who never had this(and old school Pop Secret with the random colors) had a sad, sad (post 80's) childhood.

That little purple thing was Link?
18. Brianna - February 23, 2010 4:24 PM
Man, this stuff must have stopped selling before I was old enough to eat cereal, I've never heard of it.
19. Colorless - February 23, 2010 5:15 PM
I actually wouldn't be surprised if it still tasted good, but stale. Like that guy who eats anything and ate old strawberry banana Urkel-o's cereal.. he said it was good.

I like how they consider "berries" and "fruits" to be two different things.
21. bribios - February 23, 2010 8:29 PM
I remember being so stoked to eat this as a kid. Tasted like garbage though. Never bought it again. The seller probably bought a couple boxes, ate one, and then hid the other somewhere where no one would confuse it for food.

@20
dude. you call yourself a geek? you think berries and fruits are the same thing? i am ashamed for you. (and for mario and zelda. they deserve better.)
23. Myshel - February 23, 2010 10:54 PM
yumiiiiiiiiii !!
i want it!!!
it's better than my chococriispiies
:(

What is up with girls and Fruity Pebbles? The only people I see eating Fruity Pebbles are girls. Is it like the cereal equivalent of chocolate?
26. emptyaddy - February 24, 2010 8:40 PM
I remember this cereal. Nice.
27. TheSkeptik - February 25, 2010 6:59 PM
I literally think about this cereal every time I eat Trix. This was the best fruit flavored cereal ever! Thanks for the flashback. Can anyone spot me $200?
