Sonic inflation is an economic term referring to extremely rapid inflation. The term was coined by noted economic scientist, Dr. Yaoi Futanari of the South Carolina Academy of Technology (SCAT), in 1995, as a reference to Sonic the Hedgehog, a video game character known for his high speed.

Many studies have been conducted into sonic inflation, the most famous being these recorded in the esteemed Taiwanese publication, the Journal of Goa Tse Thought.

Futanari’s Rule #34

Futanari’s Rule #34 is the last, and the most famous, of Dr. Futanari’s 34 Rules of Inflation. Futanari’s Rule #34 states: “For inflation to be considered sonic in nature, it must have an exponential rate.” This rule is often misattributed to Futanari’s understudy, James Guro.

Due to its exponential speed, sonic inflation is best visualized using a Blue Waffle Diagram. The Blue Waffle Diagram is an easy-to-understand diagram generated using the Calculus Bridge Method.

Less well-known is Futanari’s Rule #33: “Sonic inflation is inversely proportional to ring avulsion. Both sonic inflation and ring avulsion are coordinated to pegging.” The name ring avulsion refers to the rings that the titular character of the Sonic games collects.

Krokodil Experiment

The Krokodil Experiment was a controversial scientific experiment carried out by French scientist Pierre Fournier in conjunction with the government of the west African country of Bulungi in 2002. The prices of crocodile hides, a staple in the way of life of the native Primo-Ganja people, were artificially inflated to sonic levels. The experiment resulted in riots and unrest across Bulungi, and ended with both Bulungian president Nbedele Mumbambu being brutally murdered in front of crowds, and Fournier himself being executed by the new transitional government by getting his hands cut off. The video of the latter incident was later circulated on YouTube under the name Mr. Hands.
