\"\"<\/a>To promote a new Pac-Man game, Bandai Namco has teamed up with Maruchan Instant Ramen to make special packaging for their chicken flavor for a limited time.\u00a0 You know how I like Pac-Man, so even though I don\u2019t like ramen, I had to check this out!<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a bigger picture of the ramen.\u00a0 Really the only thing that\u2019s changed is the outside packaging.\u00a0 The cup and ramen inside are the same chicken flavor.\u00a0 It\u2019s not like the Pac-Man pasta I ate as a kid.\u00a0 Any other 80s kids remember that?\u00a0 I like how the bonus items in the maze on the packaging are ramen related.\u00a0 I spotted a chicken leg, carrot, cup of ramen, a potato (I think), and a pea (I also think)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a closer shot of the front of the package.\u00a0 I like how the side has a label showing it\u2019s an official Namco product, and even has a Special Flag insignia like how the Pac-Man Gummies<\/strong><\/a> I reviewed a while back did.\u00a0 The Special Flag is used in a lot of Namco games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the top of the box.\u00a0 It\u2019s advertising the new Pac-Man game: Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac.\u00a0 I\u2019ll definitely be talking about this game later.\u00a0 I think Bandai Namco has used this ramen brand to promote some of their games in the past, but it was all anime games I wasn\u2019t interested in so I didn\u2019t talk about those.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all for the Pac-Man ramen.\u00a0 I\u2019ll try one of the ones I got eventually.\u00a0 But to tell you the truth, I really don\u2019t like ramen.\u00a0 I kind of wish I did develop a taste for it, since it\u2019s so cheap.\u00a0 These were 62 cents each.\u00a0 But instant ramen isn\u2019t very good for you anyway.\u00a0 The package for this shows it has tons of calories and half your daily salt intake!\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 Anyway, that\u2019s all for now, later!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
