Video Game Schwag

People don’t usually associate video games with food, unless it’s the chips and Mountain Dew all gamers are accused of subsisting on (hey, it’s not our fault junk food is so convenient!). However, during the height of Sonic the Hedgehog’s popularity, sometime in the mid-1990s, there was a custom line of Sonic the Hedgehog meatballs that somehow lasted for years being restocked in stores despite looking absolutely appalling. I actually remember seeing these in grocery stores when I was younger. I never tried eating them because they looked so gross, but it’s comforting to know someone took the time to photograph them (there’s a LOT of other Sonic merch photography on that site, as well, for the curious).
