#hydrocity

It's important to stay hydrated. Also, drinks can be fun! Or can liven up a meal! Sorry, I kind of default to survivalist thoughts. You'll find all sorts of ideas in this section. I'm partial to freshly squeezed fruit drinks, myself. Try any one of these-but keep in mind, they're no juice.

Sonic's Pure Hydrocity

Yeah, I know hydrocity isn't a word, but it seemed appropriate. I don't know if this is the best pairing for a chili dog and onion rings, but on its own it's nice and refreshing. A bit of fizz, a bit a tartness, and I'm all perked up and ready to race!

Knuckles's Fruit Punch

Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Knuckles punch," hardy har har. Seriously, though, this packs a... uh.... wallop. It's sweet and tangy, and the flavor kinda lingers. On a hot day, the Master Emerald doesn't offer much shade, so a refreshing drink like this really helps out.

Amy's Piko Piko Slammer

A little sour, a little sweet, a little tart, and a lot of pink. It's me in drink form! Whether you're recovering from an exhilarating day out or just relaxing for the fun of it, pour yourself a tall glass and drink-o-drink-o to your heart's content!

Blaze's Imperial Tea

I enjoy a variety of teas. They can be just the thing to perk me up in the morning or calm me down before bed. (I do have to be careful not to oversteep them as I let them cool, though, I can't abide hot drinks.) Tea can pair well with snacks or be a treat on its own. This particular recipe has been part of my family for many years. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Silver's Welcome Warmth

Sometimes when I want the comfort of something warm but don't want a full meal, I make one of these. It's rich, filling, and comforting. It... sorry, what? Put marshmallows in it? You... you can do that?! Cane we?! I'll get some now!

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Hydrocity Zone:

“The Sonic games aren’t known for having good water levels. They tend to be very slow and very annoying. Fortunately, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 managed to take on this awful concept and make it fun. This has to be the best underwater zone I’ve ever played, on a Sonic game. It’s fun, challenging and ...fast. One of my favorite zones in the whole franchise.“

Hydro is derived from the ancient greek word for water.

City means city.

It’s a City of Water. A Hydro-City.

Listen, I get it, we all got attached to the way we said things as kids. In my head, I still say “Rai-you” instead of the accurate “Ree-ooo” when it comes to the Street Fighter character, Ryu.

But at the same time, I used to say “Cha-chos Emeralds” and I definitely don’t do that anymore.
