Sonic has the best tater tots in the world. That is all.

and their chili dogs are exceptional as well. I like to get the dog and tots together.

p & c, you make me sad. Haven't you been to Keller's on NW Highway (just east of Abrams)? It'll ruin you on Sonic. Plus, they have beer.

I'll have to look into that.

Which is what we just did. With a diet Coke.

Just don't look at Sonic's nutritional data. I did that recently when they were discussed in another thread. Scary stuff.

Not to be a spoilsport, but a tater tot is a tater tot.
Sonic just knows how to cook 'em right.

Let me rephrase that.

Sonic just knows how to train ambivalent teenagers to consistently cook 'em right.

... and if that ain't pure freakin' genius, I don't know what is.

I do love Sonic's tater tots. It's actually hard to find them anywhere else anymore... mmmm, crispy.

I could have sworn Flying Biscuit had 'em on their menu at one time, though not any more. You could always hit Zesto's.

BTW, speaking of deep-fried food, how did the tests go yesterday?

And if you eat too much Sonic food, you turn into a hedgehog, right?

Don't think I've ever been to a Sonic, but if they have good chili dogs and tater tots (and a breakfast sandwich with sausage AND gravy!), then I must not end my time here on earth without going Sonic at least once. Unfortunately, the only Sonics in California are in Bakersfield, Fresno and inbetween (they weren't there when I lived in that area 29 years ago - the problem is whether I can successfully sneak back in and out of the San Joaquin Valley after what I did 29 years ago).

ads for Sonic keep showing up on cable here in New York, It cruel torment for me.

Their Orange Creme Slush is a relatively guilt free, sweet, tangy, taste of summer, all year 'round.

My Sonic is literally a five minute walk away.

That is not always a good thing. *burp*

5 minutes? Uh-oh! I would be so hooked on blueberry lemonade.

] for those not intimately familiar with Sonic, they have about two dozen flavored syrups that you can add to any of their drinks, and if I remember correctly, most of them are natural flavorings not artificial [

Hey, we went to Sonic last night! The banana milkshake is really good.
