Sonic the Hedgehog Food of the USA
The USA had a pretty good collection of Sonic the Hedgehog related food items. Well, technically, most of them were candies or gums. They also (mostly) had the benefit of good flavors and wise choices. As usual, a lot of these were tied in with various promotions or contests. But some were just for fun. This page will have only modern Sonic foods.

Sonic Mania Jones Sodas 3 Flavors In honor of Sonic Mania, the flavor mixers at Jones Sodas have made 3 cool tastes in these glass bottles! These were only available at a convention where Mania was being shown/promoted. Sadly, they never went on sale at an ordinary store. This means that most people will never ever taste the flavor, because each one costs about 100 dollars or more & so will remain forever a collectible, unopened.
There's Red Cherry Lime for Knuckles, Blue Bubblegum for Sonic & Orange Vanilla Cream for Tails. Jones Sodas are the ones behind the super odd flavors too like 'green bean drink' and even 'mash potato cola', so you know that they know what they're doing when brewing up very specific tastes...even terrible ones like turkey. The bottles look cool, with Mania branding everywhere and nice shaded character art in all neo-classic poses. While rare, these 3 drinks are a great addition to any collection shelf with their bright, cute colors. Discovered by Taaron
Funko POP Sonic Pez Dispenser It's Funko POP! But now with PEZ!
This is a Sonic POP Pez dispenser. Instead of a normal character head atop the dispenser, it has a POP style classic Sonic head instead. The rest of the dispenser (as always) is the same as other dispensers, the square tube with rudementary 'feet' at the base. Tilting the head back dispenses a Pez candy from the top of the tube. The box uses the modern logo & blue checker pattern that's popular with most modern boxed items. This is supposed to release in fall of 2018. But where will it be sold? Did this thing ever appear anywhere? Still can't find it in 2019.
Funko Funk'os Sonic Cereal Blue Funko is still at it with food...
And now Sonic has a cereal! This thing looks fake, but it's not. Funko makes their own parody type cereal called "Funk-os" that (of course) have a mini Funko Pop figure as the cereal prize inside the box. They did it for Buddy the Elf from the old movie "ELF" with Will Farrel, and all that cereal was red colored rings. The 'generic-ness' and x-treeeeme color of the cereal rings are part of the gag. Of course, Sonic's is quite a bright blue. It syas 'multi grain' at the top but it's most likely 'multi chemical' as the cereals are reportedly well....very, very dyed.
What does this taste like? You can kind of guarentee that all of the Funkos taste the same regardless of their color. However, a collectible cereal is still neat even if it's meant as a bit of a parody gag type situation. This should be a fall 2019 item.
Sonic Genesis Controller Purple Gum Box A blast from the past...that's as rare as it is fast!
This is a rare gum container. It is of course, the cousin item to the much more common "Game Gear Gums" where a hollow GG replica with Sonic on the screen contained gum and collectible cards. This one though, is shaped like a Genesis controller, and for whatever reason is probably pretty darn/if not very rare. It IS labeled "Genesis" at the top, so it is highly likely to be a USA item. It's got usual finger waving Sonic with the logo 'bubble gum' and also 'sega cards inside'. This is photo/owned by a member of the Sonic CD development team
discovered when they added it to twitter after cleaning up during the virus. For a container to go undiscovered since the 1990s till 2020 hmmm. Discovered by Taaron.
Gfuel Sonic Prize Give Away Package G Fuel is teaming up with Sonic in 2020!
Gfuel is an energy drink & mix company that markets its products toward video game players. They make powders to mix into water, and canned beverages. Both items have vitamins/energy elements to...probably help you stay up later playing games or give an effect like coffee if you hate coffee's flavor. They select fruity flavors for their Fuel drinks.
The flavor they chose for Sonic is "Peach Rings" (also the name of a gummy candy) & so have produced both powder & cans of this flavor to celebrate Sonic and do a prize draw give-away which is what's seen here.
The various things you can win include the GE plushes, the PVC display figures, of course cans of the drink, IDW comics, a Pixel Frame, the Sonic shot glass, Sonic video games of course, the Just Funky bank, Genesis style controllers in Sonic type & classic colors and...A Sonic theme Mini Fridge!
That's right, it's the first Sonic Appliance! A real cooling fridge with 3 rows of shelves for your cans. It has a glass front door & is probably 'wrapped' in Sonic CG graphics on the sides and top. What fun! It's too bad there's only one such fridge, made as the prize for the contest because probably lots of people would want them for their game rooms or Sonic room. It's a fun, colorful design.

Collectors Box G Fuel Sonic Set An item you can win is this Collector's Box from GFuel. It is a Sonic themed box with front window so you can see the product jar, and the special shaker bottle where you can mix the powder and water to make your drink. It also has the measuring scoop with it's lid, which is that yellow thing there. The topper makes it pour without spilling the powder. G Fuel Shaker Bottle Sonic Theme
The shaker bottle has CG Sonic in a ring with logo & arrows on one side & the logo for GFuel on the other.
The topper has Sonic style colors with blue lid, red underside & yellow flip topper/stopper. The bottle itself is hard clear plastic with...probably grippy textured sides. It's a nice looking sport type bottle, and the box is designed nicely as well. G Fuel is doing a good job with their cross promotion.
G Fuel Sonic Peach Canned Energy Drink Here are the 2 ways you can try "Peach Rings" Sonic's flavor of G Fuel drinks. They have tall cans at left, and a powder jar at right where you can mix your own with water. The can is quite nicely designed with a yellow/blue crosshatched spiral & a scattering of rings. It has jumping peace-sign modern Sonic all over one side. The shading is a bit comic book style for him. G-Fuel Energy Formula Sonic Peach Powder Jar
The other side has their logo, the flavor label, that it has 0 sugar, and the modern Sonic logo as well. The powder jar is created with a shrink-on plastic where a white jar is wrapped sturdily in designed plastic to create an all-over colorful look. It has CG running forward Sonic placed over/behind the G Fuel logo (so he overlapps it a bit for a 3d look), CG rings, and the modern logo. This one jar will make 40 standard size servings of the drink.

What is the flavor like?
If you have tried those gummy candy "peach rings" where it's half white gummy half peach/transparent gummy and generally covered in sugar crystal dust....those. So, it is a candy inspired drink that's going to taste quite sweet.
As you can see from the fan photo at above right, it is totally transparent. Fan photo & flavor descript by RaeLogan
Opinion Zone:
Good! It's a nice collaberation. They clearly put in very nice effort for the co-branding. All the products are very professional looking, the graphic design is fresh, and everything looks appealing. The prize give-away is also quite well put together with genuinely desirable items & lots to win. This should make fans happy. The mini fridge is very fun to see as well, even if it is only a 1-off item/despite many people desiring it.
Danimals Smoothie Sonic Package This is a package of Danimals Smoothies, which are probably some type of sorta-liquid fruit flavored yogurts for kids. They may or may not be an actual 'Sonic food' (is the smoothie themed for Sonic somehow?) but they sure are a Sonic promotional item that ON a food...so here it goes.
It has modern Sonic on half of the package and says "Unlock Sonic Rewards", but what does it mean? What are the prizes? You can write in if you know what this is about.
Classic Style Sonic Tails Knuckles Pez Dispensers Get to the candy aisle, it's time for Pez!
The famous old candy Pez is known more for how you get it than what it tastes like. (Isn't that an interesting feat? Nothing other than itself and what...kinder egg is about how you get at the food rather than the food itself...hmm) The way to get it of course, is through the iconic "Pez Dispenser" which is a golden gimmick of food if there ever was such a thing. A tall rectangle with a character head at the top: you load the rectangle candy into the base and a spring pushes it up. Tilting the head causes a rectangle to pop out so you can eat it.
Making getting to candy slightly more complicated on purpose causes it to be more fun, is the theory--and because Pez has been around since basically forever the theory checks out. In this case, Pez has gotten the classic Sonic license, and produced Sonic, Tails & Knuckles head dispensers. They are bubble cardes as usual, with neoclassic art & the logo on the card back. From the photo taken in a store here, they actually do look good. Notice they use "cute classic Tails" where he's more Japan style and more appealing than some of the other arts.
Of course, there are Pez collectors who collect all dispeners regardless of character, so do get out to the store and see if you can get these 3 to add to your collection while they last. Photo discovered by The Tumblex
