I love Sonic

[FSUGrad97]

A cherry limeade and a chili cheese dog.
The banana and coconut cream pie shakes are pretty good too.

ETA - I like their ice too!

I go to Sonic practically every morning before work. I get the Route 44 (XLG) diet cherry limeade with extra cherries. My day just doesn't go quite right without my diet limeade. Some people need their coffee fix, I need my cherry limeade fix!

oh now I have more ideas for when we go. I don't care about the food. I forgot about the strawberry slushies. The chocolate cream pie shakes are yum too.

Sonic is all about the drinks! I love to get a vanilla coke and the kids love the slushies. The shakes and blast are yummy too. They do sell the ice which is a big hit for a party. We do order food sometimes but as the metabolism slows down it's probably a 5lb meal for me.

They seem to be on every corner here in OK. I think someone already mentioned they are headquatered out of OKC.

I'm jealous. Never been to one and never have even driven past one.

Same here

We have a Sonic in our mall and it's a good one. They make good burgers and chicken wraps, and I love just about all of their drinks and desserts. Yummmy!!!!

Aaaahhhh, Sonic ice. Let me try to describe it, although mere words can't do it justice.

Picture yourself as a life-long ice cruncher. You don't know why, but whenever you have an iced beverage, YOU MUST CRUNCH. Picture your dental bills as, one after the other, all four of your back teeth, and two others as well, break and have to be crowned because you've chewed large chunks of ice with them. Now, you meander past a Sonic one day. Maybe you've seen their commercial, maybe you're intrigued by the architecture, maybe you just want to see if someone's going to fall on their behind while trying to roller skate your order out the door.

So you order a drink. And here it comes - a delicious frosty taste of heaven, with loads of small, crunchable pellets. Picture flake ice like they would use to keep the seafood cool at your grocery store, pressed into little pencil-eraser size pellets. Easy to chew, easy to suck on, not too big to tuck a few between cheek and gum if you've got a little tobacco fantasy going.

It's divine stuff, that Sonic ice. I'm crunching some right now, and I'll probably swing by on my way back home from taking DD to gymnastics.

As I said before, I'm totally addicted to Sonic ice. Tag fairy, feel free to note that if you so desire.

Sonic ice is one of the wonders of the modern world. Someone should write a sonnet about it....

3 sonics in my town and we're not even that big LOL I LOVE their cheese tots and their lemon slushies.

Cherry Limeade. Yum!! No food from there--too greasy. We have one about 3 mins. from my house. I have been there a total of 3 times!!

 

[cadburysmom]

Both of my "nearby" Sonics are in worse parts of town - we call one the "murder Sonic" because it's so close to a sketchy part of town, and the other the "rat Sonic" because we once saw a rat going under the Dumpster at night. If my daughter calls and says she's going to stop by Sonic, I always say, "Murder or rat?" so I'll know which side of town she's on!!!!

Hmmm...I think we must live in the same town..there WAS actually a murder at a Sonic here...very sad...one of the workers was shot during an attempted robbery....so only drive-thru is available after dark now

I love this thread! I so love Sonic!
We have NONE by us in Southern California but when I travel I always go on their website and do the trip map that show the locations enroute. My MIL lives in South Dakota and we do at least one or two big road trips each year and stop at Sonics in UT and WY and CO on the trip.

As a side note the only Sonic in Southern California is near Disneyland and if you plan to visit DL the Sonic is across the street from the Character Warehouse Outlet!!!

My favorite is a big cherry slush and a cheesburger!

Does anyone have a favorite Sonic in Orlando or the Orlando area?
Preferably not a 'murder' or a 'rat' type!
I think DH found the 'rat' type during our December '05 trip!

i think it should be illegal for them to advertise all over the country when there are no Sonics there. I see the commercials all the time and can only go once or twice a year.

No, the actual Sonic is open until 11 or midnight, so it must not be "your" Sonic. We call it that because it's very close to a bad part of town, and once when I told a friend I was there late, she said, "I'm surprised you weren't murdered."

 

[DVCLiz]

Well, the information superhighway is just a wonderful thing!!! I googled "pellet ice" and found a website with loads of info. This type of ice is called "Chewblet" ice, and it is actually trademarked or copyrighted as such. The website says that 85% of consumers repsond that they prefer this type of ice because it doesn't melt as quickly and it's easy to chew. My favorite part was this statement -

"Also called "Sonic ice" or "rabbit turd ice"...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that we live in Florida, there's a Sonic right in front of our Super Wal Mart. We probably stop there every other week or so. We'd do it more, but I've cut way back on eating out since I got separated. Too much $$$$!

My DD loves the chili cheese dog. DS does the popcorn chicken, and I usually get chicken strips or a burger. Ours isn't too greasy. And I LOVE their diet cherry limeade!

I first found them when travelling in Texas. There's one right behind the hotel I stay in and I'd walk there for dinner most trips.
