Which Pac-Man game replaced fruit with items including a can of Coca-Cola?

The story behind the answer

Pac-Man Plus is the game that replaced fruit with items including a can of Coca-Cola.

Released as an arcade modification in 1982, Pac-Man Plus keeps the basic maze structure of the original Pac-Man but alters its graphics and rules. The familiar fruit bonus symbols were replaced with new bonus objects, one of the most recognizable being a can of Coca-Cola. These items made the game visually distinctive while giving the modified cabinet a new identity.

Pac-Man Plus also changes what happens when Pac-Man eats a bonus item. The ghosts can become both vulnerable and invisible, and their point values are doubled while they remain vulnerable. Power Pellets may produce unpredictable effects, such as making the maze invisible or leaving one ghost unaltered.

Other visual changes include a green maze, shorter vulnerable ghosts with stems and leaves, and ghosts whose eyes sit closer together. The game is often confused with Super Pac-Man because both alter classic Pac-Man mechanics, but Super Pac-Man centers on keys, locked doors, and Super Energy Pellets. Pac-Man Plus is the one associated with replacing fruit with branded and novelty items.
