I had to laugh when my wife busted this out for dinner tonight:

And though we've done this once before, it was a long time ago on forums far far away...
Can you find other video game titles and references in common products?

The funnniest part on the box his "Meat included", hehe!
Imagine the reverse situation.......

This isn't really a food product, but there is a fast-food joint in my home town called "Burger Time." I put a note in their suggestion box that said they should change their logo from a burger/clock motive to a hamburger-toting chef being chased by a sausage. LOL

DING DING DING! IT'S KNOCKOUT DELICIOUS!
Don't forget Kirby brand vacuums...probably the inspiration for the name of Kirby of Dream Land fame.
There was an entire thread of Photoshop edits at Aaron In Japan...lots of MAX 300 references (there's still a Pepsi MAX 300 pic on his main DDR page)

Uh... that's a tough one. I remember a weird Pac-Man reference in an episode of Bonnie Hunt's new show... someone from Benihana was making a dish for Bonnie. He formed the white ingredients into a Pac-Man shape and the yellow ingredients into a power pellet, then pushed the Pac-Man into the energizer with his spatula.
Yep, I got nothin'.

Uhh... not very good. It tasted like "cafeteria lasagne". I guess it would have been an OK quickie lunch but it was hardly a satisfying meal. Now look what you've made me do. I'm back to rating and reviewing, now it's video-game related food!
[ ] Pizza Pasta........ Banquet..... R1/$5
Developed for those pressed for time, as the package contains "meat" and pasta strips but the entire dinner cooks in a single pan in a matter of minutes. SANTULLI SLANT: A quickie lunch perhaps but hardly a meal. At least it doesn't get up when you smack it around and knock it onto the canvas. [Taste: 3, Consistency: 2, Fat Factor: 7, Overall: 3]

Fucking ROFLMAO!
Now that's funny shit!
Jeez, even the name of the product itself, videogame-related or not is still really funny.
"Hunny, what's for dinner tonight?"
"Pizza Pasta!"
"Fucking what?!"
LOL LOL LOL

I'm waiting for someone to PhotoShop Pizza Pasta from Punch-Out!! onto the box picture.
Can someone find the old thread like this? I was thinking about it the other day when my wife offered me some.... DRAGONFIRE gum (http://www.dragonfiregum.com/)!
