- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2020
- Over the years, I've noticed tons of convenience stores using Sonic the Hedgehog sound effects when scanning items. I've never really questioned it - until today.

Imagine your working a late shift and a random man comes in inquiring about your cash register
fire rises my thoughts exactly
fire rises no you dont understand i just want to know why it goes like that
eh he said local stations, he's probably been in most of them enough times that he's a familiar non-threatening patron. He also probably just asked if they ever noticed the sonic sound the till plays than casually brought up hes trying to figure out if its certain brands of tills that do it or not and most people will engage in those conversations if their interest is peaked and you seem sane.
As a former late night worker that wouldn't even crack my top ten strangest things to happen
@@mortimerreed Oh, do tell!
So if a robber breaks into the register, will it make the noise of rings falling out?
LMFAO THIS COMMENT
I always though they would make the sound of change falling out. But I guess it'll make the sounds of rings falling out.
Or when they’re taking the money out of the register

This is easily the scariest topic you've had the courage to tackle
Ikr dude i was terrified when i heard **ding** ahh it gives me the chills
If they started using the drowning music, then it'd be REALLY scary!

Cashier: *ding*
Me: *Vietnam War flashbacks*

"Sonic and Gas Stations"
Me, immediately: "YES PLEASE EXPLAIN"
Thanks for the hard chuckle
@james marshall then don't watch it?
Honestly when I first heard that sound effect, I immediately looked at the Cashier and went "What was that?" she wasn't a gamer so she had no clue what startled me so much- but the other guy did. He was like "Ahahah you play Sonic." They said it came on their system since day one of having it. And a few kids to teens were always thrown when they heard the ring sound.
@james marshall Tgen why are you watching it
well well well let’s find out then
Nexpo: Are cults using videogames to recruit people to sacrifice to their overlords?
also nexpo: why cash register go dililiing?
Randomnautica video: Gas stations are cults.
it's all connected
@@interlace84 as a sonic fan i think some might confuse us for a cult
but rest assured we are not a cult, just a bunch of people who like a hedgehog running fast a bit too much

Am I the only one who like subconsciously acknowledged that Sonic sound effects were there but never actually gave it any thought until now?
Same thing here. You hit the nail on the head.
Lol no I automatically was like: bitch u mocking me by insinuating u got my rings???
Yes I was looking for this comment actually. I heard the noise by the pumps never cared, never noticed till now.
Thats exactly it
YES!
To quote someone else, from 6 years ago,
"Sega sold their intellectual properties to a company called Sammy, who used those sounds to make Pachinko machines. Pachinko isn't as popular as it used to be now, so Sammy has been licensing out those intellectual properties to Chinese manufacturers who make most of the cheap electronic devices for 'Merica, registers included."
Indeed
It still leaves the question "Why?" of alllllllll the sound effects that they could've chosen, they used the coin pick up sound for a reason.
@@stupidfuckingidiot Perhaps they didn’t know what it was, or just liked it. Most likely they knew the sound and thought it would be a good idea to use it. I don’t blame them. Looking back, it’s pretty funny that the sound played is a Sonic sound
@@adamhenrywalker Could be. I think they just heard it, knew how big Sonic was and thought "We make register go cha-ching and it sounds like they win. Brings them back like pachinko?"
No. They did NOT sell their IPs to Sammy. Sammy themselves were brought out by Sega in August 2010. Sega Licensed the Ring Chime for use on Cash Registers in 2012.
Nexpo: Who makes your cash registers?
Cashier: Rapidly pressing silent alarm.
lmao
I don't think this is what you were going for, but I think asking about the register *might* be a cause for suspicion.
Literally the first thing that crossed my mind as he said that lmfao

Nexpo: "You read the title so you know what this is about"

Me too bro, me to.
I never heard the actual sound comparison. Or id I miss something?

I once worked at a gas station in 2005/2010. At the time I was big on sonic. My first time ringing someone in I heard the noise. The customer I rang in heard it too and me and him asked eachother if we both heard the ring sound. He said of course and I gave him a free chocolate bar so we could hear it again.
We did and the next day I asked my manager to come over to the register and I bought myself some gum and he heard the noise too. he shrugged it off so I asked him what brand of register we have and he said Gilbarco Veeder-Root.
(He looked at the register and saw) I researched the company and found out that sega was connected to Sammy and Sammy was a third party to Gilbarco Veeder-Root.

if i was working at a cash register and someone asked me what model it is, i would assume im about to be robbed lol.
That is probably what I would do if I was going to rob them.
😂😂😂
Deadass, like I'd be looking up if there was a design flaw in them or something that could be exposed. Sounds like someone is casing out the joint.
The voiceover vibe: "wow gas station make funny hedgehog coin sound haha"
The music vibe: "The government secretly kidnaps people to serve them as slaves and test subjects and they're gonna kill you"
"The government secretly kidnaps sonic to serve them as cashiers and IT personnel and they're gonna turn you into sonic"
They should add a Roblox “Oof” sound whenever your credit card transaction fails.
Or a spring sound effect
And an extra life sound effect when you get cash back.
Lol right!!! Go all in!!!
Hopefully someone at segasammy watches this video and sees this comment.
I think the spring would be more appropriate. No vocal sounds. All metal sounds.
Bless you for this.
Side note: emergency distress sound if being robbed should totally be when Sonic gets hit and loses all his rings.
That was my ring tone for a bit
That would definitely panic someone.

As a kid I would always freak the hell out and frantically tell my mother that the register was making the Sonic hedgehog noise. Even to this day it still gets a slight smile out of me to hear that ring chime from a gaming franchise I love.

Nexpo: *Makes a video about a boarding that has tortured children and a restaurant with a murderous past*
Also Nexpo: Why does this cash register make Sonic noises?
Nexpo: Makes video about this.
Me: Oh thank god someone else noticed!
my thoughts exactly
Didnt need to use a dead joke, but kay I guess
I didn’t think I would see you here
Lol. I just made a comment very similar to your “me” one.
Hi how are you doing bosh
What's even weirder is that at Sonic Drive-in, you don't hear Sonic sound effects.
Probably because at Sonic's drive in you never get anywhere near the register.
At the what?
Isaiah Daniels I worked there and haven’t heard any sonic effects
I just ate at the Sonic Restaurant, And yes it's truly a missed opportunity.
reality is often disappointing.
You know what's weird? At the end of a Sonic level it counts up your score, and after that it makes what I think is a cash register sound effect.
*KACHINGGG*
Yo I can totally hear it in my head
Ka-chings don't sound like ka-chings on cash register speakers. You gotta use rings.
It was a very nice change of pace having a more lighthearted mystery from you. Keeping me engaged even while i'm currently less interested in the darker/heavier stuff!
*Me at the cash register trying to impress my friends*: Hey.... wanna know why that sounds like the Sonic sound effects?
Let's go back to 1975
Let's go back to summer 19-
@Wack_ Dice it was the summer of 1983. i was only 17, and living with my family in Lombardy, Italy. an older man from America had agreed to work with my father for the summer. i will never forget his name; Oliver.
Gonna meet a nice girl and take her to a gas station for our first date so I can impress her with my sound effect knowledge
I've only been to a gas station that had these sound effects only once about two years ago, and when I heard that I actually thought to myself if the place got robbed would make the sound when sonic loses rings.
😂😂😂
*I FEEL SO VINDICATED FOR SOMEONE FINALLY COVERING THIS, YES!!!!!!*
Literally never heard a Sonic sound at any gas station in my life, maybe it's more coastal? I've always been in Illinois
I'm from Oregon, and yes, the 76 in Albany has the sound effect
I’m in Nc and I’ve always heard this noise lol
I’m also in the Midwest, and I’ve heard them at some (but not all) gas stations. Guess it depends what station you’re at?

I can only imagine how confused the clercks at the gas stations had to be after somebody comes and asks the brand of the register
I would be afraid that he was trying to figure out if it was an easy one to steal from.
I'm in the UK, and while I've never heard a cash register make the ring sound from Sonic, I did hear one (in a Sainsbury's) making the sound that plays when you jump over a barrel in Donkey Kong.
Legitimate thanks for covering this unimportant mystery that I always wondered about but never looked into. Also the short length and light-hearted content on this one is a good palette cleanser between your darker videos.

Theyre mostly new ones in large traffic areas. None of our local ones have it, they just use regular non digital ones

Maybe once or twice I've heard it but definitely not enough to take any notice. I live in a very small town though

And then it lost its novelty

I've noticed something similar to this, a lot of cars made after 2013 have a noise they make when you hit the electronic lock button on your key fob. It sounds exactly like a sound file from Halo Reach that comes from buttons you can interact with during the campaign. It's three high pitched beeps, can't really explain it any better but if anyone else knows what I'm talking about that would be pretty neat.

@Kris Roberts
You literally didn't watch the video, it was in the beginning lol
Ah that makes sense then. Because I was like, I never heard it before. Guess I am not in one of the states. Still weird though.
In my state they use the sound effects
My washing machine has Mario sound effects and I'm equally puzzled by that.
This comment is gold
go on...
At this point I'm not sure if you're joking or serious.
Which sound? And from which game
@@SmokeyMcPotProductions It sounds like Super Mario World to me. The coin sound and atleast one of the jingles.
Me: exam happening tomorrow
Also me: why does convenient store has sonic sound
I always wondered about that, thanks Nexpo! I definitely think you should do more of these one offs, it was a fun detour.
If the cash register gets robbed, does it make the "Sonic dropping all his rings" sound?
Why isn't this hearted? This is gold
Hopefully they won't get a 'Game Over'
It should.
🤣🤣 If not, it should!
Lmao it definitely should
sonic may be fading into obscurity in peoples hearts, but he will always be within your cash registers.

no hes not lmao

he will also always be in your memes
honestly this is something I wondered since I was a kid and this random popped up in my head again recently.

@@TheFlamingMarshmallow As stated, it's likely this only occurs with Gilbarco Veeder-Root cash registers. However, not every convenience store uses them, so they wouldn't have the Sonic rings sound effect.

A big fan of your youtube channel, its very entertaining! It's pretty aesthetic and scary which makes me entertained more then ever
Simple reason: Cars like to go fast. Sonic likes to go fast. Gas stations sell chili for nachos, and hot dogs. Sonic likes chili dogs. Gas stations sell gas. Cars like gas.
Insinuating that Sonic is a car
Sonic probably has gas from said chilli dogs tbf

That sound chimes when you buy tobacco or alcohol when the register has the employee scan somebody’s I.D.
THANK YOU FOR THIS! None of the clerks ever have an answer to this
I’ve always wondered why no ever talked about this like wtf
None of us are real. You’re just a brain in a jar. You’ve been wondering why nobody talked about it and your thoughts created this video. Can you think about me winning the lottery now so I can be a rich figment of your imagination
Nobody talks about it cos nobody gives a shit it could play baby shark for all I care
For me when I hear it I think about it in the instant, but it’s just a background thought, nothing else.
Literally no gas station I've ever been to has had sonic sound effects. I think this is a mystery exclusive to a certain area.
Heard it in Washington State and Idaho
Why do cash registers play the sonic sound effect? *Spooky music plays*
Frizzurd or the drowning music
The spooky music is Aquatic Ambiance from the 1994 Super Nintendo game Donkey Kong Country by david weiss.
Dkc water levels are the only water levels in games I genuinely love
I just went into a gas station and when they scanned my candy a sonic ring sound effect came on, I immediately remember you made this video. So here I am, watching a nexpo video about gas stations
This is really interesting to me! The gas station I work at uses these terminals! They work pretty well for their age. The ring collection sound plays whenever an item is selected on the register. Really, really cool!
I have NEVER heard the sound but now I really want to. I feel left out.
Watch gas station encounters
Wait what!?!?!?
I hear it all the time
watch gameplay of sonic running through a loop and you'll hear it like, 5 times in a row

God, I am always extremely embarrassed whenever my card isn't read properly and the machine loudly annouces "Oh no."

@@Cinko420 That'd actually be sick tho
dedpxl Unfortunately this one is a joke, but that would be incredible
I heard the sound years ago and recognized it instantly even though I never played Sonic. I remembered the companies Sega and Konami, while known for their gaming, also do a lot in service machines, adult gaming, and program structure. I assumed that the noise was used in some part to demonstrate the primary ownership or program partnership of the devices as well as having a overt tone to acknowledge sales.
This is genuinely something I've always wanted to know and its ironic that I find it on your channel
Me, a Briton who has never heard a cash register make this sound: Hmmm, ya know I've always wondered why they do that
Yeah, our cash registers make more 'grindy' kind of noises. Like dial-up internet back in the 90s.
@Astolfo I think it might be predominantly a US thing. I live there, and I hear those damn register sounds all the time. It kinda freaks me out every time I hear it, like, "wait wtf, is that the Sonic ring sou--oh, wait, shit, that's just the register."
Astolfo Yeah, I’ve been in convenience stores at night and that’s basically how it feels lmao
I've never heard a cash register make that sound.
I live in New Zealand and the area I live in I've never heard that noise from a cash register
I’m so used to Nexpo’s voice talking about scary and depressing things that my brain is literally getting spooked by the fact that cash registers use sonic sound effects lmao. I think I’m just bracing for the plot twist or like murder or something.
Well, the eerie music from Resident Evil doesn't help with the lightheartedness. Lol, but I still dug the contrast.

Barely related, but the "uh-oh" error sound the registers at the 99 Cents Only Stores make was also used in the 1994 Crayola Art Studio PC game. I'm not sure why I noticed this or held onto this information for so long.
Ohhhh! I know that sound from ICQ. I didn't know it was used earlier.
I was thinking about that too, but I thought it was from one of the Worms games. Different uh-oh sound, but I looked it up just now and re-discovered it was used on ICQ.
I was going to write a comment about this ( The 99 cent store using the sounds uh-oh from a video game, Worms 2 ) but read yours. Thank you for bringing it up.
I recall that sound from a Megatouch game called Funky Monkey. I also heard it in a radio ad as well.
Hey thanks! 'Always wondered about that. I always found the sound cute.
Segasammy reminds me of how Bandai/Namco owns a ton of stuff.
I like it; it is humbly trivial. And it shows that you share things to us, like we're friends and get into it with dedication, even if its not needed. But I like it regardless.
donkey kong's background music always bring me into a world of nostalgia.
