THE FOODNITED STATES OF AMERICA

THE FOODNITED STATES OF AMERICA
THE FOODNITED STATES™, A Pun-Fueled Series of US States Made From Food : In addition to being the creator of Foodiggity.com, I’m also the father of an eight-year-old. And, when most of the material covered on your site could best be described as ‘juvenile food-related nonsense,’ a curious youngster is gonna wanna get involved. It began innocently enough with, “Dad… What if you made States, but like, they were made of food, like?” My response was something along the lines of, “That’s been done to death already, son… Go to bed.” Then, the heir to the Foodiggity empire added, “But what if they like had funny names like New Pork or New Jerky, like?” Now, we were on to something. So, with an idea set forth by an eight year-old, and contributions from Dad and others, we give you The Foodnited States of America. The project will be based over at Instagram : https://instagram.com/foodiggity/ : hashtag #foodnitedstates. http://www.foodiggity.com/the-foodnited-states-of-america-a-pun-fueled-series-of-us-states-made-from-food/

It was licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway and released in October 1980. Immensely popular from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is considered one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of 1980s popular culture. Upon its release, the game—and, subsequently, Pac-Man derivatives—became a social phenomenon that sold a large amount of merchandise and also inspired, among other things, an animated television series and a top-ten hit single. http://www.pacman.com/
