Light Up with Sonic
Like other popular video game characters, Sonic’s likeness has appeared on literally hundreds of different non-video game products. Seen here are two of the strangest: a Sonic cigarette lighter that tied-in with the Japanese arcade title SegaSonic the Hedgehog (1993) and two cans of Sonic-themed pasta from the early 1990s and the Dreamcast-era.
You can see dozens more examples of Sonic franchise merchandise over at the Sonic Gear website.
