Your Daily Allowance Of Monkey Muscle


Donkey Kong Junior Cereal
Ralston (1984)
Thirty years ago, Donkey Kong Junior made its arcade debut in the United States.  In honor of this milestone, here is a box of a breakfast cereal that I never got to try.  My family weren't sticklers for nutrition or anything, but I think even they had enough sense not to feed a three year old a bowl of pure sugar first thing in the morning.  I had to be at least old enough for Kindergarten.


I may not have ever tried the cereal, but I had plenty of the Topps baseball cards that came free inside.  They were one of the coolest subsets of the 80's.
