Krispy Kreme is chomping down on nostalgia with a mouthwatering celebration of one of the most iconic video game characters ever—Pac-Man. In honor of the original game’s 45th anniversary, the popular doughnut chain is unveiling a special lineup of limited-edition doughnuts and in-store experiences that blend sweet treats with real-world gaming excitement.
Starting May 12, participating Krispy Kreme shops across the United States will be offering three exclusive Pac-Man-themed doughnuts, each housed in collectible nostalgic arcade boxes that harken back to the golden age of 80s gaming.
🎮 What’s Included in the Pac-Man Doughnut Lineup?
Fans can bite into these arcade-inspired flavors:
-
Pac-Man Party Doughnut – Featuring the iconic yellow character with a creamy center and cheerful glaze.
-
Strawberry Power Berry Doughnut – Packed with fruity flavor, a nod to Pac-Man’s favorite snacks.
-
Team Ghost Doughnut – Inspired by Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde, this doughnut brings a colorful ghostly twist.
And on Pac-Man’s official 45th birthday—May 22—Krispy Kreme is offering a sweet deal: get an Original Glazed dozen for just 25 cents with the purchase of any Pac-Man dozen.
🎉 Level Up Your Experience In-Store
This collaboration isn’t just about doughnuts—it’s a game! Participating locations will host exclusive in-store events that allow customers to “level up” their Krispy Kreme visit and collect points toward a community “unlock.” If fans collectively hit the “high score,” Krispy Kreme will bring back the fan-favorite Strawberry Glazed Doughnut—a flavorful nod to Pac-Man’s love for fruit.
Between May 12 and May 18, the first 45,000 guests to visit during Hot Light hours will score a free Original Glazed doughnut, helping fuel the community challenge.
🕹️ More Than Just a Snack – It’s a Celebration of Gaming History
Pac-Man is more than a game—it’s a cultural icon. With recent hits like Pac-Man 99 and the upcoming Shadow Labyrinth, the yellow hero remains relevant across generations. This Krispy Kreme collaboration taps into that legacy, offering not just nostalgic food but a playful celebration of a video game legend.
