Reader Appreciation Day

by Ryan

I work at Sonic. I know all the drink secrets. I recommend ordering a: blended Dr Pepper float with cherry.

Done, and Wrap Around Curl was absolutely right, it was fantastic.

I know it may not seem like a big deal to some, but this was a pretty cool experience all around. A year ago we literally had tens of readers, and now we are getting drink tips in the middle of summer from relative strangers. That's pretty cool if you ask me.

What I'm trying to say here is thank you for reading, and thanks for sticking with us over the summer. I promise things are going to get busier around here very soon. For now, I've got to hit up Sonic a few more times before I leave town. Next up? Powerade Slush.

Well, unless someone has a suggestion...

SuperSonic Delight

So if you haven't figured out by now, I am currently just over 800 miles away from home. To be specific, I'm spending the week in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Let's face it, the life of a blogger is hard work, and even though I'm on vacation, well, the site would shut down if I stopped posting.

Therefore, I am going to tell you about something I promised I would one day do: Visit a Sonic.

If you may remember, a few months back I was watching March Madness and got bombarded with Sonic commercials. Holy crap those drinks look good. Upon checking their website, I found that the nearest one was 180.4 miles away from my house. It was at that moment I decided I had to get to a Sonic eventually, and this trip was going to be the perfect opportunity.

So we were driving down the road one day...



WAIT! TURN IT!



Uh-oh. What are we getting? (That's just side one...)



My selection: a #2 with a large Cherry Limeade.



Indeed.



My meal in the... flesh? Should have gotten more fries.



It's a burger pouch. Amazing.



The ice pellets, which were soon devoured as well. It was as good as it looks on tv.




Yes, we swung around to take a picture of the sign. The moral of the story is this: Sonic is a great fast food restaurant, and not too expensive either. Needless to say, we are going back.

Was it worth the hype? Yeah, it was. For the amount of hype 3,000 commercials showing slushies and burgers can generate, it sure lived up to it. If you are going somewhere this summer, I'd try hitting one up. Be sure to report back here if you do.
