Pinky could be pink grapefruit, passionfruit or melon flavoured.
Boston America could make Clyde the orange flavour. We'll have to keep our eyes open for these, but I would have thought that this would have been an ideal opportunity for sour lemon sweets to match the Pac colour, rather than orange. Boston America also make Pac-Man sweets in a yellow Pac-Man shaped tin, which are orange flavoured. Now I've finished the sweets I'm left with two rather cool looking empty tins that I'll have to find something to use them for. Although they have the same hard Refresher type texture of the Red Ghost "sours" (pah!), these sweets have a nice mild sour raspberry taste and are quite moreish once you tuck in. Unsurprisingly blue ghost shaped sweets fill the blue ghost tin. We have a raspberry bush in the garden that is just spewing out raspberries at the moment like there's no tomorrow. Inky or the "ghost turned blue" is raspberry flavoured (though you'd think he'd be blueberry flavoured to go with the colour). Guzzling the whole tin may make you slightly hyperactive and try to keep them away from Coca Cola - unless you want an exploding fizzy drink. Whilst there's nothing wrong with the taste of these sweets (asides my dislike of cherries) they couldn't really be classed as sour. They remind me of Barratt's cherry flavoured refreshers, so they need a bit of a suck before you bite them if you don't want to break your teeth. The tin is filled with small pink ghost shaped sweets. Regular readers may remember my distaste for anything cherry flavoured after the Cherry Catastrophe beer post some moons ago. Being Red, Blinky is cherry flavoured and the sweets come in a red ghost shaped tin. The company has a few Pac-Man related products including energy drinks and bandages. These sweets have been produced by Boston America Corp, famous for its Simpson's Duff Energy Drink. Pac-Man is chased around the maze by three ghosts Blinky (red), Pinky (er. Pac-Man is a big yellow round head with a big mouth for eating Pac-Dots.
To all those who are unfamiliar with gaming Pac-Man is guided around a maze.
Google even released an anniversary Pac-Man title page a few weeks back to commemorate its 30th year. First released in 1980 and developed by Namco, Pac-Man quickly became one of the most popular video games of all time.
