Today’s featured company:
SONIC

A little more about them:
In an effort to make learning about wildlife fun and meaningful for children, SONIC and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) have partnered in a new ZOO Tot campaign. The 15 plush ZOO Tot toys, available during the month of April with the purchase of a Wacky Pack Kid’s Meal, are as adorable as they are educational. SONIC hopes the partnership and promotion will help raise awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation. Attached to each ZOO Tot is a link to www.soniczootots.com, an interactive Web site where customers can play games and learn more about their ZOO Tot animal.

You can also visit SONIC on their Facebook fan page.

Melanie here. SONIC is a regional phenomenon–you may not have one of these awesome drive-in diners in your area. If not, I weep for you. Their ice is to die for. They offer every drink combination imaginable. I’m partial to my tea, but when I want to branch out a vanilla Dr. Pepper is my next choice (or a cherry limeade). SONIC is a family favorite around here. I went to college in the town where they started, but my love affair with SONIC has been going on for over 30 years!

Some examples of what they do:

  3. my favorite thing about sonic … i the ice. So addictive.
    Love being able to order such a variety of drinks. I always go for the 1/2 sweet tea, 1/2 unsweet tea but my 11 year old son is trying to find a drink combination that they can’t prepare and hasn’t been able to yet!

  4. Leigh Nichols says:

    I love Sonic because it provides a bit of nostalgia- you can still park in your car and have the waitress bring your food out to you.
    Also, their selection is AWESOME!

  5. Amy G. says:

    I haven’t had any food from Sonic before because there wasn’t one close to home, but one in opening up in town soon and I can’t wait to go there and try the food. The zoo tots are so cute :) .

  6. Kyndra Sherman says:

    I like the Sonic in our area because when I ask for extra cherries they give me EXTRA CHERRIES! LOL. Of course, I usually tip pretty good. That helps.

  7. Roberta says:

    Sonic is our family’s favorite place to go for lunch. My daughter loves the fact that the servers are on roller skates, and I’ve been eating the foot long conies since I first discovered them in 1986.

  8. Linda says:

    We have a Sonic near our house and recently tried it. We really liked their hamburgers; but I loved their strawberry shake!

    $1 value menu! For $10 I can go out with my husband on a great date and we can both get burgers, fries (or tater tots), slushies and a small banana split.

  20. Sheila Whorton says:

    I have to say that I love sonic. We have 3 in my town, and 2 in neighboring towns. I stop in at least one of them everyday. My favorite time to go is happy hour, but I usually go in the morning on my way to work too. My favorite sonic is in one of the neighboring towns, but it is a little out of the way. It is on the way to my duaghters grandmothers, so we go once or twice a week to that one. Otherwise, there are 2 on my way to work, and I usually stop at one of those everyday. The staff is friendly at all of these, and the food is always great.

  21. Rachel Robertson says:

    I love Sonic! We go there every Saturday for a family treat. I love the way you can eat in your car and enjoy good food and just being together. They make the best shakes in the world!

  22. Jammie says:

    They have the best milk shakes in this area. My daughter and I go and get a couple hambugers, cheese sticks and a shake yummy

  23. Oh, I’m weeping too!

    We moved from Houston almost 5 years ago, where we literally had at least 4 Sonics within a 5 (or maybe 10) mile radius.

    When we visit Houston, we always go there at least once. I do love the drinks (vanilla diet Dr. Pepper), and the tots. LOVE the tots.

    We’ll visit Texas this summer to use the card, so if that makes me eligible, I’d love to win.

  24. Rachel Newman says:

    I like my Sonic in Anaheim because they always give me such personal service, and their fries and desserts are TO DIE FOR!

  25. Amy L says:

    I love the sonic in my area because its a pleasant walk over a bridge that I like to take with my little one. We both think the food is yummy and HOPEFULLY I get to burn off a few caloires in the twenty minute walk to and fro!

  26. Leslie S. says:

    Sonic drinks are awesome. My entire family lives in San Diego and we drive all the way to the LA area and El Centro just to visit Sonic. There is a grand opening 4/6/09 and my entire family is going to meet at the new location in Santee. We are thrilled that we don’t have to drive so far anymore!

  50. Jennifer Richardson says:

    Their happy hour drinks are my daily excuse to get out of the house, as a homemaker I am rarely not busy, but we always take time to go get a slush or tea.
