Time for another retro corner. As I said before, back in the day, Sonic was really big to where a lot of other companies wanted to use him to sell stuff. So here's a few ads I found of Sonic selling something besides video games.

Sonic races the Bee for Honey Nut Cheerios: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/252805.html

This one is for the games and the system but shows you can do um "other things" with Sonic's game:

Sonic pasta food product: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/251560.html

French commerical for Sonic LCD toys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li4m_cc0SKc&feature=related

(Cream, get the hell out of my car!)

Now we tend to forget that Sonic reappared in the Happy Meal 15th anniversary edition as well (where the hell was Mario's toy?)

Recognize the other characters? Buster and Babs of "Tiny Toons" Muppet Babies, Kermit and Piggy and the Berenstein Bears. (and if you don't then I really am that old.)

I wanted to find a 1994 commercial of Sonic's first Happy Meal Toys but to no avail.

you're not allowed to feel too old. I'm with ya on the old school front.

I remember Tiny Toons, Muppet Babie and the Berentein Bears. The first two quite vividly in fact.

OMG YES at the Sonic 2 commercial. I swear advertisements were so much better back then! Also, the Sonic pasta made me throw up when I was in 2nd grade.

Recently I saw a commercial for a Leap Frog video-game hand-held thing. It looks like it's not going to be educational and that Leap Frog is trying to rip people off thinking they'll buy it for little kids (similar to what happened before the Crash). Anyway on the end the man in the frog costume showed some (or all) of the games and on the far right there's a Sonic game.
