Now I just need to find the Sonic JAM, Sonic Spaghetti-o's and the Sonic chocolates. Was/Is there any other edible Sonic stuff that's been made?
Btw, does anyone remember that bottle (I <i>think</i> it was shampoo) with that Sonic water game on the front and you had to push the buttons on the left and right (they pumped the water) to get the rings that were in there over the spikes? (I think they were spikes.) I remember seeing something like that years ago in convenient stores and such, does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Speaking of eBay, do you think Shenmue 2 for Dreamcast plus DC-X is worth over $50 dollars?
I don't have an X-Box, and I heard Shenmue 2 was the cat's pajamas.. but I promised myself I wouldn't bid over 51 bucks, and now it's going for 52 with three hours left. Decisions, decisions.
Argh! Damn rival bidders!

There was some orange flavoured fizzy soft drink in the UK, and those white candy sticks that kids pretend are cigarettes, they came with little video game trading cards - the box was the Sonic 3 US cover art.

There were lots of Sonic water toys, Sonic the Comic used to offer them as prizes for letters published in their letters pages.

There was also a bottle of Sonic ketchup. Or catsup.
Whichever.

I don't remember that, but I do remember there being some kind of Sonic Jam promotion with Daddies ketchup.

I've definitely seen a bottle with Sonic on it somewhere. The collector went so far as to talk about how they had cleaned out the bottle and yada yada yada. It figures I can't remember it now...

They were blue. Blueberry flavour. They were quite revolting, actually, but I couldn't stop eating them. I still have all the cards, except the first one, which I lost at some point. I can't remember what game it was. Started with "A"...

Congratulations on the winning bid, Spazz, but I wouldn't eat those if I were you.

There were at least two types of Sonic bubble gum, and I remember reading in an issue of Dreamcast Magazine about some Japanese Sonic cookies that, and I quote, "taste like ass." There was also a Japanese soda that I believe Silv mentioned was grapefruit flavor.

Oh, hell yes.

There was AOSTH Salad Dressings. I think Hidden Valley did them.

Are you serious?

I actually have a tape with that ad for that Hidden Valley thing somewhere, from 1994. I think it wasn't actual Sonic brand salad dressing, but just the normal labels with Sonic tattos/stickers or something like that. I'll see if I can find the tape to be sure.

The first time I voluntarily ate salad.

There were some blue Sonic lifesavers that launched in conjunction with Sonic 3, I believe.
Hmm, what else? There was that Sonic bubblegum that came in the little plastic game gears... I believe they had iron-on Sonic tatoos inside.
And there was also a kind of Sonic gum that came inside an actual full-body figure of Sonic... the spines popped off, revealing that Sonic's head was hollow inside and full of gumballs. It was the closest thing I ever had to a Sonic action figure as a kid.

I remember that. I had a small army of those. I used to turn the spines upside down and pretend he was Super Sonic.

Unless you're being sarcastic, did you see the link in the first post?

Hoy, nearly forgot. Not so much food as being packed with food, but there were Sonic 'prizes' in boxes of Cracker Jack during the heyday of Sonic 3.

Now that I think about it, I remember seeing a box of Sonic cereal while on holiday in Majorca last year. It looked quite old and yucky, so chances are it's still on the shelf...

Does anyone else have those little Sonic toys from "Cookie Crisp" ceral? They came in Blue and Gold, and were pretty damn flat statues of Sonic on a little skateboard.

Sounds painful. In a conformist sort of way.

I used to eat the Sonic pasta shapes. They had Marble Zone on the label, with Sonic attacking "Batbrains" and so forth. There was also these Sonic sour sweets that showed Sonic in his spin jump pose, which came in Sour Apple (definitely) and Sour Cherry (I think) flavours.
So, what exactly are "Lifesavers"? Just, like, Polos then?
