This set was released at Courtney's debut in September 2020.
When Courtney’s mom started her run for mayor, Courtney started packing her own school lunch in this special PAC-MAN set, which shows her love of her favorite arcade game. The set has plenty of pretend food and includes: A PAC-MAN™ lunchbox with graphics just like those from the 1980s version; opens and closes so she can pack her lunch, An insulated container with PAC-MAN™ graphics that Courtney can use to take juice or soup to school, A bologna and cheese sandwich cut in half, A serving of apple slices, A serving of cheese balls that fits inside a container with a lid, A brownie with sprinkles in plastic wrap for dessert. SKU#: GRN45

This is a very cute set. Here’s a picture of all of the items, with AG’s website description and some additional thoughts below.
The set has plenty of pretend food and includes:
A PAC-MAN lunchbox with graphics just like those from the 1980s version; opens and closes so she can pack her lunch. This is made of yellow plastic with the PAC-MAN graphics, and it has a white plastic handle that can fold up or down. I think the lunchbox is pretty realistic for the time, and the only downsides that I see are that the doll can’t actually hold it very well and that it doesn’t fit all the food inside. I tried packing it several different ways, and was able to fit in everything except the brownie each time. I still give it a B.
An insulated container with PAC-MAN graphics that Courtney can use to take juice or soup to school. The combination of lunchbox and thermos is probably what made me want to get this set. Too much cuteness. The graphics on the thermos match the lunchbox, and the top screws off to become a cup, although the thermos doesn’t open any more after that (I.e., the sippy part doesn’t pop up and the smaller cap is not a separate component, either). This gets a B too.
A bologna and cheese sandwich cut in half. The two halves fit together to make a full sandwich, and the I think the coloring of the bread, crust, and cheese and bologna (visible from the side) is believable enough. I really wish this came with a sandwich bag - who puts a sandwich in their lunchbox without one? - but unfortunately the plastic bag that the items came in is too big/thick to serve this purpose. Without a sandwich bag, this gets a C-.
A serving of apple slices. These three slices of red apple are joined together, which I don’t mind in this case, and the shape makes the piece easy to fit in her lunchbox. My issue again is that no one puts sliced apple into their lunchbox without a bag or other container, so for that reason I probably would have preferred a whole apple or an orange or banana (or a little bag for the apple slices). I give this a C- too.
A serving of cheese balls that fits inside a container with a lid. This is seriously cute. The container has writing only on one side. It closes with a rubbery lid, and has a clumped group of cheese balls that can be taken out. I don’t know if it’s realistic to have a lunchbox-size container like this, but I love it anyway. (Also, even though it says “Cheese Puffs” on the package, I also remember calling them “Cheese Balls” when I was little.) these get an A.
A brownie with sprinkles in plastic wrap for dessert. So this piece does have plastic wrap that’s meant to stay on it, and for what it’s worth, it does seem like the stuff wrapper makes it more difficult to fit the brownie inside the lunchbox with the rest of the lunch. That doesn’t bother me too much - I’m not a fan of this kind of brownie in real life or in dollyverse - but it might bother some. I’d give it a C.
Here are a few photos of the items in the box, as well as the pamphlet that came with the set. Overall, I’d give the set a B+ or maybe even an A-. This is a higher grade than the individual pieces, but I think it’s worth it because of the number of pieces, the high playability, and the overall appeal of a school lunchbox accessory set.
