Sonic Drive-In

Sonic Drive-In is a mixed bag. They put on these incredible specials for their drinks and Shakes. Their drinks and slushies are generally on sale in the summer between 2 and 5 p.m. of course the one that I went to only put stuff on sale between 2 and 4 p.m. a fairly small window to rush down there and get a really cheap slushie or drink. Now I intended to order one of their large slushies half off. It would have run somewhere around 2 bucks. But instead ended up getting one of their other special drinks but not a slushie. Somehow the word slushy never got into the conversation. And since they didn't mix up my order with somebody that ordered a slushy well no slushy was had. The neat thing is they accidentally put in two maraschino cherries and three lime wedges. It was delicious. You can tell there's sort of an attitude problem on the other end when you order and you say that you want something that's half off and nothing else. They don't like that. They're hoping you're going to order a burger and fries for $7 and then get to drink for $2 and then with tax will be close to $10 but instead you order a drink half off for $2 and drive away. Still it was delicious. There's another matter I don't know if we want to get into it here or not. They offer their shakes at half off after 8 p.m. okay who needs a thousand calorie chocolate shake after 8 p.m. at night? Some 16 year old high school kid? Once again they really don't like you ordering a small chocolate shake half off and nothing else. They put a tiny little dollop have whipped cream on it  barely visible under the Cherry. Still it's plenty of calories and tastes good.
