A lot of early pokemon merchandise featured poliwhirl and its evolutions since they were still figuring out which pokemon will be best suitable for a mascot.
in the 90's Nintendo collaborated with the shasta soda company to promote the super nintendo and super mario world, they released small cans of soda with mario, luigi, princess toadstool and yoshi, each with their own flavors, mario was fruit punch, luigi was berry, yoshi was apple and princess toadstool was cherry
At first, I thought it was some sort of japan-related reasoning, because the Pokemon Adventures manga featured Poliwhirl as Red's first pokemon. But I dug deeper and it turns out that the creator of Pokemon, Satoshi Tajiri, had Poliwag as his favourite pokemon!
I remember the Pokemon poptarts vividly. I also remember getting a Poliwhirl figure around the same time. I have no idea if pokemon figures came from poptart boxes though
I remember having Pop-Tarts and Pokemon Cereal during the Johto era. I think they were reissues of the ones shown here, just with new Johto era packaging. I remember the Pop-Tarts I bought had a Pichu figurine you could put on your pencil. I think they call these "Pencil Toppers". I believe there was a Totodile and Entei as well. I never got them.
Surprised you didn’t mention the many collaborations of Honkai 3. They’ve been doing those since 2016, and recently a New York exclusive bubble tea event at Debutea
But I like Poliwrath! Hypnosis and Focus Punch will always be a fun combination. The best thing about the Nintendo cereal is actually the advert. It goes "NINTENDO! It's a cereal now! NINTENDO! It's a cereal! WOW!". Ever since I saw that video I began calling Nintendo a cereal whenever they did something that I don't like.
It's such a shame that the dbz cereal doesnt have dragon balls as their cereal and is just a fuckin box with Gokus face slapped onto it. Glad others did something unique. (Rup tails and his 0 nuts in his food)
I don't know if it was just me but halfway through the sonic ihop promotion the switch version of some of the games weren't available for the rest of the promo
My biggest memory of food collabs is needing to buy those big party variety packs of Lay's to get exclusive Skylander's. I got them all, but that was quite an investment for a twelve year old, and waiting 4-6 weeks on shipping made me feel like I was going crazy!
Last year there was a collab between "Honkai Star Rail" game and a russian pizza-restaurant chain "Dodo Pizza". God, it was a DISASTER. First of all, you could get some limited merch like special acrylic figurines and bages, yet it was only given if you visit the one parcticular small pizzeria in the center of Moscow. It was shoking how long were the lines, the restaurant even had to cut off the pre-order to take-away option from this restaurant and even shortneded the working hours of the restaurant. You could get a pizza in a themed box and a ticket with an in-game promocode if you ordered online, but I remember I only got the promocode because my local restaurant ran out of themed boxes. The fans were furious, the restaurant's social media were full of negative comments... That's not how you should do a collab.
I recall there being a collaboration between Pizza Hut and Crash Bandicoot for a few commercials. In the 90s I recall one of the guy in the crash costume telling some kid to turn the pizza around for their stuffed crust. I don’t think they did anything crazy with it, I think it was really just to film a bunch of commercials which have Crash in it.
The Sonic x Hooters one Sega did for Sonic Forces will always baffle me. And before anyone mentions SONIC Drive-In, apparently, they hate the blue dude so they actively avoid being associated with him.
Also for the Sonic Movie 2 they have a Sonic and Knuckles Xbox one controller has blue fur on it and the other controller had red fur on it that you could of won if you went to the Sonic Sweeptakes event they had at thw movies I also remember They had a Super Mario Odyssey Cereal and back in the day they had limited edition Sonic cereal and a Pacman one
Somehow I was not aware of this IHOP special. It could be because every streaming site I was on at the time I watched without ads except peacock premium had ads and I never saw any ads for this IHOP special. It's also because at the time I was without a vehicle so I just somehow was not aware of this thing going on at IHOP with Sonic. That actually is really cool. I like those meal ideas. I think to go along with the Sonic paradox joke when they made fun of shadow in Sonic adventure 2 where instead of him saying chaos control, he says chaos Swiss roll and he turns his chaos emerald into a Swiss roll and loves it. There needs to be a shadow the Hedgehog Swiss roll😂
4:16 I'm sorry. Did you really say $3 or more in pizza? I mean considering that a little Caesars Pizza now costs almost like $10 and back in 2023 it wasn't that much less The qualifications don't make any sense😂

For me the most bizarre collab was Sonic x Hooters, it was strange. I think it was between Sonic Forces era.
I remember when Overwatch had you buy Pop Tarts to get one free lootbox. None of the lootboxes I got amounted to anything through that promotion.
The Coca Cola Game Gear is one of the relics of all time
I still can't believe there's never been a collaboration between Sonic and Sonic the restaurant.
Having 2 Sonic movies and no promotion with it BOTH times has to be the biggest fumble of all time.
It's completely unrelated, but I'm sad kiro didn't mention that one pizza hut collaboration in TMNT II.
Literally I wonder that all the time 🤣
Been saying this for the longest time, Chili Dogs and Onion Rings, guess it just makes too much sense lol.
@@ZerogGames I know. The possibilities are honestly endless.

It's still crazy to me that we got a Sonic X Progressive collab but not a Sonic X Sonic collab
THATS CRAZYYYY
Sonic appearing at least once in the vid✅
IIRC, someone mentioned that it boils down to SONIC not wanting to associate with the Sonic the Hedgehog brand.
@@spongebobfan78 That's sad, but understandable. The name confusion would be exacerbated by a proper collab.
Poliwhirl was on a LOT of old advertising for whatever reason. I used ti have an old bed set that had Poliwhirl front and center on it
It's because the original artist really liked poliwhirl/poliwrath.
That is cool. Poliwhirl is actually my favorite Pokemon. I am one of those weirdos.

@@riversart2030 that makes two
I definitely think you should talk about idle animations for your next video. I think it would be an interesting topic to talk about
I remember garden warfare making a collab with Cheetos back in the day, they gave free skins for the zombie scientist and the chomper
Underrated comment, i LOVE pvz garden warfare
I remember the Pokemon poptarts vividly. I also remember getting a Poliwhirl figure around the same time. I have no idea if pokemon figures came from poptart boxes though
Death Stranding’s collab with Monster energy came to my mind first when I saw the title for this video.
I love Super Mario Cereal
These really are some interesting co-labs
The dress shirt and and white gloves is some serial killer energy in my gamer lore nostalgia video
I was obsessed with the pokémon Pop-Tarts and cereal back in the day.
8:25 and namco
YES MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS
Who thought this was a good idea 3:25

The classics I'll always think of were:
Nathan Drake from Uncharted with Subway and Mountain dew cranked up for Halo 3!!

Great video! Always love when you upload
That Pizza Hut and Pac Man collab feels way more appropriate for 1991. Wonder what made them wait all the way until 2021 to do it.
It's such a shame that the dbz cereal doesnt have dragon balls as their cereal and is just a fuckin box with Gokus face slapped onto it. Glad others did something unique. (Rup tails and his 0 nuts in his food)
Can't forget about the Mario odyssey cereal with a built in amibbo
I don't know if it was just me but halfway through the sonic ihop promotion the switch version of some of the games weren't available for the rest of the promo
Im still confused why sega chose to collab with ihop (but other than that, it’s really cool)
Kiro is hecka back!
And now I'm hungry
If only there was a sponsor that can fill me up
I got the Amy Diner outfit skin from a giveaway and she looks so kawaii 🥰
Polliwrath was the goal mascot pokemon, but then Pikachu became so popular with the people in the beginning that he became the maskot almost instantly

0:00 me at the beginning of the video: “same”
Pocky also had a Street Fighter collaboration a few years back as well
Honestly thought this video was about lead into a hello fresh ad for a second
No Limited Edition Blue Sonic Curry?
NEW KIRO VIDEO?!?!?!?
I think the Nintendo Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda cereals win. Those are classic boxes. Sony PlayStation pasta is funny. Cool video. ^_^
You should have mentioned the other collab between Pokemon and Kellogg's with the spinning top toys inside the cereal boxes.
Welp, the Waitress Amy skin is now straight up available for free
The Sonic x Hooters one Sega did for Sonic Forces will always baffle me. And before anyone mentions SONIC Drive-In, apparently, they hate the blue dude so they actively avoid being associated with him.
I wish that Pizzahut and Pacman did another collab similar
Nice video!
No way new kiro video on my birthday
Happy Birthday! 🎉
