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.
