  • Why does Sonic the Hedgehog love chili dogs so much? Who came up with this idea? Regardless, in almost every version of Sonic media you can see Sonic eating chili dogs so I wanted to dive further into this and see where this came from. Also as a fun project for the New Year, why not make a chili dog of my own.

      In the 1988 movie about Felix the Cat, that was a huge IP in post-war Japan as the devs were growing up, Felix mentions "hot dogs with sauerkraut". This would be the hot dog modification of the trendy Reuben sandwich from New York.
      Which would be one of the many things one could attach to a character, to come off as hip and cool. As well well as any allusions to Christmas, an island named "Christmas Island", or songs that sound like Christmas hits they always release for easy money, such as the synth songs in the movie soundtrack including 'Together Again', or the JRPG sounding 'Face to the Wind'.
      You should ACTUALLY watch the movie and make a list on everything similar to Sonic, because they're WILD.

"Tails" had a carbonara, Shadow's was black forest cake, and Amy's was red velvet cake. Robotnik had an omelette.

    I don't know why they chose chili dogs exactly, but irl hedgehogs are obligate carnivores (they strictly eat meat, in their case it's comprised of mainly insects and scavenged meat). Chili dogs are definitely meaty and the beans add extra protein, so I like to think it's a meaty treat that naturally appeals to him.
    Can almost guarantee the people who came up with this did not go through that level of thinking, but this is just a reasoning I like to think about! I love hedgehogs just as much as I love Sonic.

    • @berserker3414
      @berserker3414 Před rokem +52

      No, hedgehogs are considered omnivores. They can eat carrots and other vegetables, just in really small amounts. But yeah, their diet is tricky, since most people ignore the amounts of proteins they need and assume that they are rodents. They don't know wild ones can eat mice, lil snakes and frogs. Either way, I agree with you on why he eats chilli dogs. He also loves spicy food due to his personality (maybe, as he's really fast he needs a bigger caloric intake?)

      "character is suddenly assigned a random food as a favorite for no reason yet it becomes intrinsic to their character" is a surprisingly common trope. Hell I literally did that with my character Pyro, I was RPing as him and outta the blue I had to decide on a favorite food so I just went with bread. Now it's an entire fucking part of his personality. It's just a quirky and fun thing tbh.

      @@exist4046 maybe when that favorite food is assigned by the character's creators, but I've found in cases like this, where you have an eastern and a western interpretation of a character, the western interpretation gets dropped entirely. Especially when that interpretation comes from an unofficial source like the cartoons. Think about it, Robotnik's old designs have never come back, the Freedom Fighters have been mia since Archie ended, nothing from those cartoons have appeared in any official Sonic media except for his love of chili dogs XD Best comparison I can think of is the old Mario cartoons giving him a love of spaghetti and pasta, but as far as I can remember, Nintendo's never officially acknowledged Mario having any sort of love for spaghetti even though it's still a pretty common joke online.

    In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, one of the obstacles in Casino Night Zone resembles a chilidog with relish (green), then turns yellow and finally red when collided with by Sonic or Tails. Like it's got a bunch of toppings but they're licking off layers from top to bottom instead of taking bites of it LOL
    That may have somewhat inspired Sonic's love of chilidogs specifically.
    Also, hedgehogs are omnivores and hot dogs have a reputation for being made of random bits of garbage meat and plant fillers. Chili is also a great way to hide leftover or near expiration ingredients around a kitchen. Sonic would probably have loved chilidogs just as much had he been an opossum, a skunk, or a raccoon.

In short, I fell in love with them, and I have Sonic The Hedgehog, and of course Sonic the fast food chain to thank for that.

    I never really questioned before because Sonic is a product of his time which is the radical 90s and a chili dog is probably the most out-there kind of fast food that I can think of. As a kid I saw chili dogs referenced in other 90s media like Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Goof Troop. It’s characteristically rebellious as an edible and I think it was another effort to make Sonic stand out more against the shroom and pasta-loving Mario.
    I also didn’t try chili dogs until college because I didn’t like hot dogs until then. They are an absolute guilty pleasure of mine.

    There's an old Chilidog recipe that was featured in the original Sonic the Hedgehog comics by Archie back in the early 90's decade that can be found online if you search for it. I've never tried it, but I would assume that it is good, lol. This, of course, doesn't explain why Sonic loves Chilidogs. Honestly, if the creators decided on Chilidogs as Sonic's favorite food, I would assume that a likely reason might be because the food wasn't taken yet. What do I mean by that, you're probably wondering. Think about this concept: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle loved Pizza. The Street Sharks (something of a rip-off regarding the style/format of the TMNTs) loved burgers, to differentiate them from the TMNT. Beavis & Butthead seemed to love nachos. Perhaps the creators of Sonic thought that Chilidogs wouldn't have been taken, and therefore, would be a good choice since many cartoon characters loved a certain food type. Food seems to be no different than a style of clothing for the characters. Maybe Sonic just loved Chilidogs because the creators thought it would be a fairly popular form of home-made junk food that would separate him from other characters at the time. As a matter of fact, I am eating Chilidogs right now for dinner, since it sounded warm on a foggy Winter night here in the Midwest. Whatever the reason, I think Chilidogs suit Sonic nicely.

    The actual best chili dogs I've had is at one of our annual fairs here in the UK.
    I believe they were using german sausage recipe made from locally sourced meat and the chili itself was barely a sauce with all the extra veggies they added to it. I think the reason it was so good was the fact that most of the ingredients went through as little processing as possible.

      Actually, I hear the Japanese instruction manual for "Sonic Advance 3" lists chili dogs as Sonic's favorite food. I haven't seen confirmation/proof of this.
      Apparently, I heard rumors writer Warren Graff accidentally canonized chili dogs, when researching Sonic (as he didn't know much about the series before writing it) he found some sources like the comics say chili dogs were his favorite food. So he canonized it in Black Knight.

      More specifically Sonic actually didn't have *any* favorite food in Japan prior to Advance 3's manual and Sonic Unleashed, even Tails and Knuckles had their favorite foods listed in manuals as mint candy and fruits specifically but Sonic didn't.

  • @drakke125Channel
    @drakke125Channel Před rokem +2

    so basically
    1) Sonic loves fast food
    2) in his world in early cartoon, the chilli dog is very popular, just like how most of cartoons will either showcase hotdogs or usually either burger or pizza as the preferred fast food. In Sonic's case, he was crazy about hot dogs
    3) the powder turning into chilli dogs is one of those "advanced science" where you put in a small packet or box in microwave and it magically becomes this delicious meal/item.
    Was hoping for super sonic in the movie to summon UNLIMITED CHILLI DOGS or at least a buffet table of it.

    Great video. Personally I’m not a chili dog eater myself, but it’s cool to see how Sonic’s affinity for them has been portrayed throughout the franchise. The idea he’d be part of a family business and delivering chili dogs is interesting in my opinion, and would give insight on how he makes money to have a livelihood.
    Happy New Years! Can’t wait to see what this channel does for 2023.
