This week’s box is the ultimate ode to the 80’s.
It’s a surprisingly graphic portrayal of Pac Man eating ghosts. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel bad for these particular ghosts- they have sad, horrified expressions while being eaten by the oblivious PacMan. Rather cruel compared with the real game- where both characters were oblivious! That’s how I remember it, anyhow. I also remember my brother and cousins being totally obsessed with the game.
This also happens to be among the last boxes made out of metal.
Apparently, at this point in history, metal lunchboxes were deemed “dangerous” and replaced with soft, safe plastic ones.
BLEAH. That’s also when box art plummeted to the lows that they currently are.
Pity the children!
