When I Was Eleven, I LOooOOVE Eating Donkey Kong!!!

Donkey Kong Cereal 1983 Commercial

I was in the 5th grade when this along with the corn puffed, marshmallow Pac-man cereal were on grocery store shelves all across the U.S. of A.  And with every box of Donky Kong cereal came a game piece that gave you a chance to win your very own stand-up DONKEY KONG ARCADE MACHINE!

I ate and ate and ate Donkey Kong in the mornings and after school.  So after eating 2.5 boxes of big round barrels of fun, I finally won my own...  pair of DONKEY KONG SHOE LACES!  (See back of vintage box below for prize progression.)

I pretty much stopped right there.  But I wondered how much more I would have had to take to reach the top.
