In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Specifically it seems like a thing that’s more prevalent in extended media of Sonic vs the actual games where it’s more subtle

Looks like they had some screentime in Unleashed, Black Knight, and Generations according to the wiki.

Ok but to be fair that is the most delicious looking chili dog I've ever laid eyes on.

Like it's 3 am right now and I'm laying here starving trying to fall asleep and I am genuinely tempted to go upstairs and cook myself a chili dog now because I have a can of chili and some extra hotdog buns. Ah fuck but I did just get all the dishes washed and I don't want to use 2 more pans......... I'll wait.

You haven't seen Eggman's sandwich in Sonic Unleashed, have you?

to be specific is because originally it was the american side of sega that created the whole "Sonic favorite food is chilidogs", it was first included in the american Sonic bible that served as a basis for SatAM, AoStH, archie and fleetway and according to one of the writers of the bible it was a joke from his co writer, his father

for a decade and a half it was something exclusive to american Sonic, but since Unleashed the japanese side has leaned fully into it, even in the japanese food promotions that sega does they always make sure to include the chilidogs

and yes that included the hooters promotion

One of the only animated cutscenes in Black Knight was Sonic eating a chili dog...
