I'll happily be the bajillionth person to note that plenty of cash registers in the United States use the Sonic ring collecting chime. Not only that, but I don't even have to buy a Sonic game to hear it. Plain old products like toothpaste will do!

I suggest they remove the Victory Fanfare and replace it with Tidus awkward as hell laugh. Hell of a lot more memorable and would make both parties uncomfortable!

Odd, I was going to comment about something similar. There's a gas station, it's not nearby but along a route I used to take once in a while and so stopped at a few times.

And cash registers in rural America play the Sonic ring-grab tune.

Nah it's fine as is.

For those who don't know, certain gas stations around America have been using registers that use the Sonic 'grabs a ring' sound and the 99cents only story in CA has the ICQ 'UH OH' sound.

You know you are going overboard when even Godzilla is appalled.

Alright everyone, I think I've found the solution to this problem.

It's our modern always-online, utterly self-centered condition: it's more important to show off where you're visiting than it is to actually enjoy where you're visiting. Spend thousands of dollars on a vacation just so you can put a few photos on Flickr to show your friend from high school you haven't seen nor spoken…

The first TV I ever gamed on was a 12" black and white television.....yeah, my parents hated me! It made it extremely hard to play games like Fester's Quest, where it was critical to know the colors of certain item drops to better your weapons.....choosing the blue "gun" item made your weapon better, while…

This was my childhood

When I was a kid we had a huge, heavy, wood console TV, kind of like this:

I grew up with one of these on the floor. When it died, my parents just put the new TV on it instead of buying a TV stand.

Got to be honest, when I first watched that episode as a kid I was like "where did they come up with these names?" When I got older(learning about the legendary birds. articUNO, zapDOS,molTRES), it hit me like a ton of bricks. Me: "Tom..ato...TOMATO!!! OH GOD WHY?!?" lol XD

So someone went through all the trouble of customizing Pikachu, but didn't give him a Ketchup Bottle? FAIL.

Still haven't picked up 5 or 6; $15.99 is too much by far to ask for an app game.

Fungi reproduce via spores, so their plumbing is going to be a lot different than the sexual dimorphism seen in a lot of mammals. I'd suspect that the gendered appearance is more of a cultural adaptation.
