Hey kids, remember when Sonic still starred in cool games and had a shred of credibility?  No?  Well, he did once, and that credibility was used to endorse Honey Nut Cheerios.  Yes, Cheerios do seem like the perfect fit for a blazingly fast rodent.

Wouldn’t it have made more sense for Sonic to advertise something like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or Cookie Crisp?  Just something entirely unhealthy with the pitch being that he had to run fast a lot to burn off all those excess calories.  That might be too high minded for kids, but one can imagine a Sonic diet program in the future.  Speaking of which, does anyone else wonder if Mario will be trimmer in his next title due to Wii Fit?
