“Yes, I came up with the idea for Pac-Man after looking at a pizza haha aren’t I creative?”
“Oh just ignore the fact that the Japanese version of Mr. Mouth was called “pakkuman” and came out 4 years before Pac-Man”

What foods would be available for someone trying to start a Pac-Man diet if one were to include the available items from every game?

I'm not sure what the real-life equivalent of pellets and ghosts would be. A power pellet would be like a tab of pcp that would make you go berzerk on everyone and eat them. But since the ghosts can regenerate maybe they represent some kind of renewable plant or fungus. I dunno. Maybe pellets would be pellets of Soylent or the like, but that sounds gross.

Also, maybe instead of eating keys you could eat a nice piece of key lime pie instead. And some bell peppers instead of eating a bell. That kind of thing. You would obviously have to eat the foods in some kind of order as well and determine some kind of intergame guidelines for item equivalencies. As a result there would be some choice, but once you ate an item from one point tier you would have to move on the next one.

I'm surprised no one has designed some pseudo-scientific marketing mumbo jumbo to try to sell this to rubes. You could say there was some kind of secret Japanese diet some, I don't know, monks or some shit, came up with where you had to eat foods in certain orders to gain immortality, but nobody knows what the foods really are and the Pac-Man diet is a bastardized but still salubrious offshoot of the original magical diet.

Celebratory pizza would also be allowed.

ALso, would you rather eat the Pac-Man or the Bubble Bobble diet?
