Apparently, at some point in the dark 90s, there existed a Sonic The Hedgehog - Spaghetti O's tie-in product.

It featured an adapter for putting a can of pasta into your Genesis. This adapter was never released to the public.
Until now.
Manufacturing Notes
This is designed to be printed with the round can adapter facing up. This avoids the need for support at the cartridge shoulder overhangs. If there's demand, I could potentially add fillets to the cartridge shoulders to allow printing in the other orientation.
This should be printed in black filament to match the edgy 90s aesthetic of the Genesis. Using clear filament would be a definite violation of causality, since translucent plastics only started to become a thing in video game equipment later in the decade. Do not bend the arrow of time.
Usage Notes
This is designed for an 80mm food can. Using this with larger diameter cans, such as family-size cans of pineapple rings, will require an adapter, which I could provide if there's sufficient demand. I will require payment in pineapple rings.
Note that only soups and pastas containing ring-shapes should be used, to maintain the Sonic The Hedgehog theme. You could use this to fill the Genesis with kidney beans, but at that point what are you doing with your life?
Please remember to wear cool sunglasses when using this device, as shown in the linked video.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this adapter compatible with Japanese-market systems? Unfortunately, the cartridge shape limits it to US/export systems.
Does this work with Sega CD? Yes. Note that a slice of standard balogna luncheon meat fits neatly in the CD tray, and makes a great side dish.
How am I supposed to open the can? You must open the can before inserting it into the adapter. Once in the adapter, it's hard to use a can opener.
I thought 3D printed materials aren't food-safe? This is true. Neither is the Sega Genesis (with the exception of the very rare Edible SegaCD model.) I recommend not eating the food you use to fill your Genesis.
Isn't this a really stupid idea? Hey, it's not any worse than the 32X.
