Sonic Coffee Drinks - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We grew up with it in KS, and they have half priced burger night too! Then my sister moved to MI and was devastated that they aren't nationwide. We take her to one whenever she visits. It is very similar to Jack in the Box but I think their food is bigger and greasier at Sonic. They have a big selection, full menu all day, and you can pull up instead of going through a drivethru. Can you tell I like it?

we don't have coffee drinks but if we did OMG!!

Oh, but no tacos at Sonic, so I guess it isn't as similar to Jack in the Box...

I can't really comment on the coffee drinks because I HATE coffee

but I will say that not all Sonics are the same. While we were building our house, we got in the habit of getting the family size popcorn chicken because it was so easy to eat while working. Well, come to find out a Sonic out of town charges about 2-3 bucks cheaper for that same family size. And another one out of town I stopped at once didn't even offer the family size. Didn't know what I was talking about. I actually held on to my receipt from that cheaper one for a long time thinking that the next time I went to the one in our town, I'd show it to them and get it cheaper but I doubt they would do that..... and then the receipt faded so much I threw it away. My favorite at Sonic is the tator tots with cheese! AND the Vanilla Coke. I know other places have that drink but it's something about their styrofoam cups with the little bitty ice that makes it so good!

Oh! And remember when Sonic would hang those little plastic things on the side of your cup? The little plastic monkeys?? Boy, I'm sure dating myself now but that was a kick to us when we were little. Loved those little monkeys!

Shoot! I remember (and still have a set) when they had the trays that hung on your window! Got those from my grandma!

hehe! That was cool too. Now they have to hand it all to you and wait while you pass it around the car. Don't know why they ever quit using the trays.

Oh I know just what you mean about the cups and ice. I haven't has their vanilla coke but anytime I get a diet coke in a styrofoam cup with that little ice (I call it rabbit pellet ice

) it is sooo good!

Jenn218 · 11-29-2007, 02:26 PM

That is the only reason we actually go to Sonic.........to grab a drink! Did you know, you can buy a bag of that pellet ice from them??? We do a lot of car shows and just driving around in our classic cars...and a lot of times, we will all have an ice chest.....we will stop and get a bag to refill our cups. I think they only charge $2 for the bag........well worth $2....then, we just reuse our big sonic cups/straws and refill with a drink from home!

Not one Sonic in FL that I have found has them. I've tried Sonics in 3 different cities- no grilled cheese. Do they think Floridians don't appreciate a good grilled cheese?!

I LOVE their grilled cheese! They have them at my Sonics. My other favorite is a chili cheese coney with onions - withOUT the weiner! Sometimes they look at me weird but I know I'm not the only one who orders it that way.

Does your Sonic have the coffee drinks????

AND today, we stopped to get drinks and they have those little cheesecake bites again.....they had them last year around the holidays with strawberry sauce. They are YUMMY

This year, they come with a cinnamon caramel sauce.

sounds good right now!

Ok well I deemed myself that since I am out there EVERYDAY it seems for drinks!

Can you say AMEN to an everyday Happy Hour from 2-4:30!!! Drinks are half priced!

I am addicted to it. They put something in the ice, I swear they do!

http://www.sonicdrivein.com/

My fave things at the moment besides drinks --
Mac N Cheese Bites (not on the menu but they still have'em at mine)
Cheese Cake Bites (like the caramel better than the strawberry last year)
Grilled Cheese (no butter or oil)
And just like Tatum's Mom....

I used to eat their burgers until I had unfortunate experience last year at Christmas. Nothing wrong with it but with the kinda sick I was and that was the last thing you ate, it ruined it for me.

Wow... after I read this... I guess this explains why my butt is the size of a window ac and a couple of bowling balls.
