Mrs. Pac-Man is doing what any famous entity does as they are entering retirement, using her celebrity status to sell product. I spotted her in all her edible hard-candied glory at Papabubble in Amsterdam accessorized with some pac dots and super-cute, but doomed ghosts. Many people have wandered into the store after smelling the sweet fruity scents wafting out the door and tried to buy the vintage Atari in the display out from under them, but had to settle for a couple of bags of hand-made candy.

The best part? They make custom-designed candies to your liking. So if you want a giant Mrs. Pac-Man lolly for yourself, or a bag of little ghosts, all you have to do is email them with your specs (lulu at papabubble.nl) and they will inform you in one of my two favorite Dutch to English phrases: "It is possible", or "It is not possible".
