CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING GALLERY OF WEIRD PAC-MAN MERCHANDISE THAT WE GAVE UP ON BEFORE WE EVEN GOT HALF WAY!

It's strange how Pac-Man remains one of the most recognisable video game characters, despite not really being in a major game in decades. Admittedly, he's not quite the pocket industry he once was - back in the 80s, Pac-Man merchandise was everywhere.

Here's a selection of some of the stranger items you could have purchased. There would've been more, but... well... we gave up after just a handful of them.
This terrifying stress ball looks like one of those fish that have human teeth. The packaging proclaims this to be: "The greatest gobbler of them all! Squeeze and hear him munch...!" 

Or rather... "the greatest gobbler of them all! squeeze and hear him munch!"

What's the matter, lads? Don't have capitalisation where you come from?

Pac-Man's lurid red eyes on these plush toys suggest that he might have rather overdone it on the power pills...

Do you remember Pac-Man's duet with the great crooner "Willy"? No? Whomever Willy might be, he appears to be in truck with the ghosts. Watch out, Pac-Man! That's one Willy you don't want to gobble with!

Mr Biffo be careful! I think a Pacman might have gobbled some of the images you tried to post!

So... was this an 'I'm tired and I've ran out of interesting things to say but I've put so much work into it already" kind of article?

Or perhaps it was the post blockparty blues kicking in: get half way through an article then "Oh I can't be bothered anymore".

I remember the Pac-Man cartoon, and I also remember buying a packet of Pac-Man stickers at the gift shop in the Southport Botanical Gardens with my grandparents. My naughty cousin stuck some on the cabinets containing stuffed seabirds and I was absolutely mortified at his wayward behaviour, and also felt angry that he had - albeit by proxy - implicated Pac-Man in his crimes.

That old Pac-Man cartoon.. What was Pac-Man's job? He did have one right? He had a wife, baby and a dog to support and he lived in a functioning town so presumably there was a system of paid employment.... Why am I thinking about this?
