    "Suction Cup Sonics" were popular in Japan in the 90s, with suction cups sewn to their hands so you could stick them up on glass or other smooth surfaces. One of them has been made in Brazil too, and this is it. It's a fairly small doll, with clear plastic…

Sonic on Fanta? Who knew. This was a non-USA promotion combo. It is now known that this can is from the UK. (Thanks to SegaFreak!) Yeah this cola is "Orange Zone", so why is the can red?


There's that "Attitude" thing again on the side, this was popular in England especially, so it makes sense that it is from the UK.

 

To the right, you see a "Mini Can" of the same thing. The only difference is, that it has 150 ml, instead of the normal amount. Want to see the other flavors? Look below. Thanks to MCRG for the photo & info!

Sonic Fanta Can

Remember the Orange Zone Fanta can from the top of this page? Well, here's the matching Raspberry Zone can.

As you can see, it's quite similar logo-wise, but they're using a totally different art for this one. Here, sonic is meant to look like he's punching & kicking through the can. It still says "The Drink With Attitude" off to one side, as well as "Sonic Special Can" which seems to be written in a similar/the same font as the Fleetway Sonic the Comic. Does this mean that somewhere, there is a "Grape Zone" can? (Fanta usually features 3 or 4 flavors at a time) This can was sold on ebay for 41.00 in 2011. If that seems unusual...can collections are slightly more common than one would think. They're colorful, light-weight, have interesting designs and can (clearly) be quite collectible. Plus, it's the power of Sonic to compell people to buy an old empty can.

Here are more flavors for the Sonic Fanta! You can also see how big the 'mini can' is when compared with other normal cans. Each flavor is labeled "zone" with whatever fruit it had. Here you can see Orange, Apple & Raspberry. Each flavor has a different art of Sonic 'breaking thru' a papery looking background. Were there any other flavors? Apple soda is unusual. Were they any good?

Here's a better look at the Apple Zone can.
Was this green apple (sour) or red apple (sweet)? Since the can is green, one can assume it was probably a bit of a sour fizz type soda. Were only 3 flavors made? Was any flavor less common than another? Were any of them good?
They are all likely quite expired by this point, so unless someone remembers one, there's not much a way to tell. What year did these appear? (Obviously earlier or mid 90s) the lack of Tails means nothing because unlike Japan, the UK area didn't care if he was included or not on products/packaging while Japan put him on everything as soon as he was released.
