Pac Man Energy Drink For The Ever So Hungry Gamers

March 13th, 2009

Of All The Pac Man Retro Art or Promotions I have seen, this really takes the cake. Why? Simply because you can drink this and feel the game, Pac Man that is.

Pac Man Energy Drink For The Ever So Hungry Gamers

 

Spotted at Yongo Street in Toronto, these are really energy drinks covered with Pac Man art and licensed by Namco. I love the covers, its literally Pacmania if you ask me. There are ghosts on the side cover that looks like an in game screenshot. 

I have no feedback on how the energy drink tastes but in this case, its outside cover that counts for me.
