I’m guessing that Sonic the Hedgehog was feeling jealous of Pac-Man and Mario having their own sugary treats, so he had to get into the candy-making action.

While I think that Sonic’s candies should look like gold rings, I’m guessing they thought a roll of Butter Rum LifeSavers would have…

Assuming that R2-D2 is roaming the surface of Tatooine, what with its dual suns, this solar-powered R2 unit would probably never have to worry about running out of power.
