As a kid, I spent countless hours dodging ghosts and chasing fruit in the neon-lit maze of Pac-Man—an arcade obsession that defined a generation. That signature wakka-wakka soundtrack still echoes in my memory. Now, just in time for Pac-Man’s 45th anniversary, Krispy Kreme has teamed up with Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. for a celebration that’s as sweet as a high score on the final level.
Introducing the Krispy Kreme x Pac-Man Collection—a limited-time doughnut drop that’s got fans buzzing like they just nabbed a power pellet. Starting today at participating U.S. locations, you can sink your teeth into three all-new doughnuts inspired by the iconic game, all served up in a nostalgic Pac-Man game-themed dozen box that’s practically a collector’s item for retro fans.
Here’s what’s on the menu for this mouthwatering maze:
Pac-Man Party Doughnut – Krispy Kreme’s beloved Original Glazed gets a power-up with yellow buttercream-flavored icing, festive celebration sprinkles, and a whimsical Pac-Man topper. It’s like biting into a bonus round!
Team Ghost Doughnut – Don’t be afraid of this one! An unglazed shell doughnut filled with chocolate Kreme, dipped in black icing, detailed with a Pac-Man maze design, and crowned with a Ghost Gang topper. Pinky, Inky, Blinky, and Clyde would approve.
Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut – Inspired by the juicy bonus fruits from the game, this red-iced, unglazed shell doughnut is bursting with strawberry Kreme and finished with white sprinkles and a playful green leaf icing. It’s a berry delicious nod to the game’s sweet rewards.
This is more than a doughnut release—it’s a sugar-fueled trip down 8-bit memory lane. Whether you’re an arcade veteran or a new generation gamer, you’ll want to chomp-chomp these nostalgic treats before it’s “game over!”
