Our limited edition Pac-Man classic metal lunch box is now back in stock. However, once this classic sells out, we do not expect this design to return. It is a must for any gamer! The lunch box is great as a gift in itself, or as packaging for another gift; especially if you're getting a video game.
Pac-Man Trivia: One of the great creation legends of game design is that Toru Iwatani, the creative force behind the game who was only 22 years old at the time, while eating a pizza, looked down at the pie with a missing slice and used the outline as inspiration for Pac-Man's distinctive shape. The story was furthered by Iwatani himself; when Pac-Man fever was at its height, he even posed with a half-eaten pizza for a publicity photograph. But in a 1986 interview, Iwatani admitted that the legend was only "half true."
"In Japanese, the character for mouth [kuchi] is a square shape," Iwatani explained. "It's not circular like the pizza, but I decided to round it out." And thus, Pac-Man was born.

My sister had the yellow Ms. Pac-Man lunch box in the 1980s. She had it until finally selling it at a garage sale. Too bad.
