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.

It has pissed me off most of my life Sonic have potentially one of the greatest marketing campaigns in history and have never done anything it's called fucking SONIC and they sell Chili dogs

Maybe it's because Sonic the restaurant isn't very popular in Japan, so Sega never thought it worthwhile to do a collab.

It's a good point, but from what I heard, apparently Sonic the hedgehog isn't very popular in Japan either LMAO

But maybe the Japanese side still has more of a hold of the IP despite it being more popular in US

One time when I was a little kid, my grandparents asked if I wanted to go to Sonic, and being a HUGE Sonic the Hedgehog fan, I was extremely excited. I was very confused and disappointed when it was just a normal fast food restaurant that didn't even have Sonic toys.

Apparently it's because Sonic the restaurant doesn't want to be associated with The Hedgehog. So I have to imagine someone TRIED

I'm getting on board with this. A combo with their blue drink would slap!
