Nintendo Food Poisoning System

Here's why we can never bid on a sealed container of the Nintendo Cereal System like this one: we'd be too tempted to taste it. We're equally driven by memories of the cereal's taste and curiosity about how it would hold up. And then we'd have not only wasted 80 bucks (as of right now), we'd have made ourselves sick. That would be a fun story to tell the emergency room doctor! We're content to watch the commercial over and over again. It's free and gastrointestinally safe.

While we're looking at this wonderfully deadly collectible, check out the dual-cereal design. Ralston totally predicted the DS design -- in food!

Haha... Food Poisoning system. :P That made my day.
This is something that I would snatch up in an instant if I saw it at a garage sale. It would be an inpulse buy, even if it WAS 80 bucks. But on Ebay? I don't think so.

No worries! Someone has already done something quite similar for you.

I'm so glad to have seen that commercial! I've been trying to convince some people that this stuff really existed, even remembering bits of the theme song, and they wouldn't believe me.

Thanks, YouTube and Nintendo Wii Fanboy! :D

One time, a bunch of ants got into the the cupboard and soon made themselves a grave in the opened mario side of the box so when I poured myself a bowl I got a bunch of dead ants along with my cereal.

I was only upset because the mario cereal was the better tasting of the two.

Knowing how well Nintendo builds tanks I wouldn't be surprised if they still tasted edible.

You'll just have to take my word that this is *before* I watch the Youtube link (which would be the first time I've seen this commercial since it actually *aired* on TV), but:

NIN-TEN-DO [it's a cereal now!]
NIN-TEN-DO [with a fruit-flavored POW!]

Did I get it right? I'm such a frickin' dork.
