Sega has made Sonic even cooler.

The Sonic cooler — officially, the Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone Little Playmate 7-quart cooler — comes from Igloo, longtime maker of coolers, and is available now. It costs $39.99 on Igloo’s website, features graphics lifted from the original 16-bit Sonic the HedgehogIt can hold up to 9 standard 12-ounce soda cans. That’s enough beverage for Sonic, Tails, Amy Rose, Knuckles, Shadow, Cream the Rabbit, Rouge the Bat, Espio the Chameleon, and Big the Cat (and Froggy, if they share).

“This collaboration with Igloo solidifies how Sonic the Hedgehog goes beyond the limits of solely video games,” said Alex Gomez, senior director of licensing at Sega of America, in a news release announcing the cooler. That’s truly an incredible statement to make, given the hundreds of other licensed Sonic the Hedgehog products released over the past 30 years, multiple cartoon series starring Sonic, and the two live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movies that have grossed more than $725 million in theaters. Igloo’s cooler did the job of solidifying.
