''Sonic Couch Tats'' is more like it...

Sonic wants you to stuff your kids up with their chemicals - and, as a consolation prize perhaps, you can bring home an overpriced piece of stuffed over-hyped super-hero schmuck fluff!

Whattadeal, folks!

Your choice, your pick: Superman, Flash, Aquaman, Plastic Man, Supergirl, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Bizarro (!) etc...

And TRADING CARDS are available, too! Sheesh.

These sort of odd partnerships -and odd ideas for promotional stunts and collectibles resulting from it- have been seen before: the only true question here is why Sonic and not McDo, BK or the like?

Dairy Queen and the Bee Queen, with Catwoman cleverly tied in, would have been more natural.

Lindt dark chocolates, hawked by a darker Hawkman and Darkseid too.

Aquafina auctioned off by Aquaman, Mera and Naiad - for those hot dehydrating summer days, anyone...?!?

Martian Manhunter shoving those Oreos down everyone's throats...!!!

I could go on and recite, once again,
my all-time favorite example of these natural pairings
(Wonder Woman and Wonder Bra)
but I would be repeating myself then...
Let's avoid redundance - at least.

=======================

As you can see, it is not the mercantilism that annoys the most in these instances - it's the lack of logic in the choices that were made. Such as ''why include Martian Manhunter and not Green Lantern or that God-damn BattyMan again?!?'' but mostly such as ''why not pair up the right products with the right characters that make sense there...?!?''

Batty would be pushing Prozac in no time if such a logic was meticulously followed.

Or Ritalin.

Maybe Cialis and that other, far more famous blue pill, too...
But that's another story.
Let's not go there!
