Okay Theorists, I have to ask: how can Sonic keep his super speed and not DIE?! Seriously, he should be STARVING! Based on his insane running exercise, one chili hot dog would NOT be enough to keep him alive. So I grabbed my calculator to solve the exact number of hot dogs Sonic needs to keep his super speed.

    I love how technically this could go on any of the sister channels, sonic is a game, the theory covers food and the movie is used :)
  • This is THE episode that perfectly blends Game Theory, Film Theory, and Food Theory! What are the odds?!?
  • I always figured, at least based on the movies, sonic didn't need to eat too much compared to other speedsters because he has direct access to the source of energy that gives him his speed, the energy in his quills
  • After hearing MatPat go through those formulas, I am once again so SO glad I'm not planning to go into that field of science like...ever
  • @TimeBucks
    Love how Matpat over thinks the simplest things

  • @Coraloner
    Sometimes I imagine a head-cannon where each channel is it's own entity with its own Matpat and they treat eachother like siblings but also don't actually want to admit they are multiple entities which GTLive has to keep hiding before the others won't stop messing up.
  • @fnaffoxy1987
    This really explains why in a lot of media he's portrayed in; Sonic is shown as being somewhat lazy. In Sonic X, he rests until he has to do something due to Eggman for example.
  • @smugsneasel
    Matpat took the "I guess he goes that fast because of all the chili dogs he eats" joke and turned it on its head.
  • 6:19 should be the most replayed bit of the video I would have thought, I love that sound effect lol
  • @lasercraft32
    Some of the comments mention how he's not a human and is from another dimension, so his metabolism isn't the same as a humans.... but really what I feel throws this theory out the window is just how much energy his body already contains. Just a SINGLE quill seems to carry a near infinite amount of energy. Makes me wonder if he even needs to eat anything at all. 🤔
  • Don't forget that Sonics body is incredibly energy dense. Just a single quill was enough to power Eggman's machine to become equivalently fast. I would hazard a guess that Sonics body is so replete with energy that he doesn't actually need to eat; he just does it because it tastes good and is fun to do, or because he mistakenly thinks he HAS to eat.
  • This is literally a Game Theory, a Film Theory, and a Food Theory all in one video!
  • @FlashieBoi
    12:06 but sonic isnt a human his genetics and body structure are different from ours
  • The cool thing with this channel is you get interesting answers to questions you never asked
  • @anstolis3814
    Matpat is the kind of person to as kid been too cynical to get with magical themes without saying uhh no that's unrealistic, except he actually has facts to back him up
  • 4:46 i love how on the website it lists sonic's "real name" and "english name" but his english name is just the normal one in all caps 😂
