Smoking Has Its Benefits: Pac-Man Zippos

Namco Bandai has a lot planned for Pac-Man's 30th anniversary next year, including a new game helmed by Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Hirokazu Yasuhara and I presume tons of merchandise, like this set of branded lighters.

The company's subsidiary Banpresto will begin selling these Pac-Man Zippos in Japan this November for around $110. I almost wish I smoked just so I carry around my favorite of the three, Dot Pac-Man -- the way it reveals a ghost in Pac-Man's stomach when you flip the top open is excellent.

Ya know, if they'd make one that was actually PacMan shaped, i.e. a round yellow puck that opened in the middle, I'd sooo buy one.
