- Look at the damn ice!
I'm already sold! - Bro!
- (PvF) I heard you guys are fans of fast food.
- Oh yeah. - Yes!
- Fat fat over here!
- (PvF) Does the phrase "this is how we Sonic"
mean anything to you?
- This is how we Sonic? - This is how we...
- There's lots of commercials about it.
- I've seen all the commercials.
- They have none in SoCal.
- They clearly have them in Southern California,
'cause I did not fly the Sonic in for you.
(Izzy laughs)
Ready to try some sonic?
- Yes! - Yes.
- Yeah! - Alright, let's do it!
- (Peter) Half priced cheeseburgers on Saint Patrick's Day,
can you believe it? - These guys.
- It's Saint Patrick's Day!
- Oh, I've seen this 1,000 times before.
- I love them!
- Wait, I think I remember this commercial.
- Me too. - (T.J.) It's awesome!
- (Peter) If you could've wished for anything,
why did you not wish for a yacht?
- (T.J.) What am I gonna do with half a yacht?
- (Peter) Well, you would've wished for the whole yacht.
- (T.J.) You don't know what I would've wished for.
- Okay, I'm fat, I was like why would you say half,
and not free burgers? - I'm dead.
- Love it. - The commercials are so memorable.
- Oh hell yeah.
- Yes, burger!
- Oh, and onion rings.
- What the hell is the signature sauce?
- (PvF) We've got the classic Sonic cheeseburger
with their signature sauce and a side of their
world-famous onion rings that are made by hand.
- I'm not mad at the skin. - Ooh!
- I just am a sucker for a good onion ring.
- Are you dipping it in the sauce?
- Yeah, I mean, I might as well try it, right?
- Their sauce is weird. I don't know what that is.
- I'm not here for it.
- (PvF) Their signature sauce is a blend of honey mustard and barbecue.
- Oh no. No!
- These are really dope onion rings.
- It tastes like cake, kind of.
- It's really sweet! - Why is it so sweet?
- Wow!
- I know I don't like something, but I don't know what.
- Moment of truth, though.
- It's kinda thin, isn't it? - It's large.
- I don't have to look like...
- To be honest, I actually like soggy burgers.
- Okay, you're different. - I know.
- It's not bad. - This is just a very standard burger.
- It just tastes like beef. - I like beef.
- It's a well cooked patty though. I liked it.
- Is this the same size as my face?
- If you want a burger. - No!
- And you're craving a burger... - Don't go here.
- I would give it a 7 out of 10.
- Like a five. - An eight.
- Five also.
- A three. - Thank you.
- The burger is okay, but the pickles made up for it,
and I do like the onion rings a lot.
- It's not hitting.
- I would rate this a two, one for each item on this bun.
- (narrator) This summer, a cool candy treat is yours.
- Oh, this is old.
- This is like just the classic diner commercial,
you know what I mean?
- I'm in. - Wow.
- That looks great.
- No, see this is too much. - Really?
- Oh my God, are we gonna try the ice cream?
- Okay. - Oh hell yeah!
- (PvF) Sonic Blasts are a delicious blend of ice cream, candy,
and cookie toppings with whipped cream on top,
and unlike McDonald's McFlurry, their machines aren't always broken.
(Anais laughs)
- See, with McFlurries, there's like barely any cookie.
- After you eat the top, it's just nothing else.
- Exactly!
- This is a meal right here.
- Cookies in every bite. - It's literally cookie central.
- I lived in New York City, and all my friends would
drive to Jersey just to get Sonic.
- This just honestly makes the In-N-Out milkshakes
just look like baby food.
- (PvF) So they rolled these out in the winter of 2014,
to which some people thought it was crazy to offer it
in the middle of winter, but it turns out people don't care!
- There's this thing where some people say
that ice cream tastes better in cold weather.
- I will vouch for that, as a New Yorker.
- Can we have hot chocolate in the summer, then?
Can I stop getting canceled for that?
- I'd probably give this like an 8 out of 10.
- I would rate this an eight.
- It's pretty good, it's solid.
- I would rate this a 10.
- I'm gonna rank this a seven.
- If it got all the cookies in each bite, that's a 10.
- A 9 out of 10.
- I would rate this a 10 if you have a sweet tooth.
For the savory person, me here, this is very far from it.
- (PvF) Alright, ready for the next one?
- Yes. - Yep!
- Oh. - Are these zucchini fries?
- Is this like potato wedges?
- Fried pickles? - Oh, fried pickles?
Oh boy.
- Wait! - Oh, is it jalapeno poppers?
- Are they jalapeno poppers?
- I wonder if this is like a jalapeno popper.
- It looks like it.
- Girl.
- Please bite into it, and have a lot of cheese!
- Man, this guy really gets in there with his camera.
- Or a potato wedge.
- This is an interesting camera angle.
- Show the food! - Yeah!
- (PvF) Breaded, deep fried jalapeno peppers
are filled with a melty cheddar cheese
and served with a creamy ranch dipping sauce.
These are called the Ched 'R' Peppers.
- Ched 'R' (laughs) - Ched 'R' Peppers!
- Oh [censored]!
- It's like nacho cheese in here.
- You could see the cheese melted in there.
- We're gonna judge the ranch too,
'cause Jack in the Box has... - The best ranch!
- Best ranch! (laughs)
- I've had jalapeno poppers from Jack in the Box,
and I'm like traumatized by them.
- Consistency so far, it looks good.
- We're judging the ranch.
- Mmm! - It's good!
- Oh, mmm, oh.
- They do have a very satisfying crunch.
- Less jalapeno, I feel like, more cheese.
- Mm-hmm.
- It's bombarded in cheese.
- (PvF) The name Sonic came from their slogan
service with the speed of sound. - Oh, cute.
- Ah!
- Yo, I can't stop, it's so good.
- They're not bad! - If you like cheese, yeah.
- This is almost like a meal though, 'cause these are like thick.
- Are we being Oprah, or are we being like Simon?
- We're gonna be Simon. We're foodies.
- Are we, okay, we're foodies.
- I'm gonna rate it a six.
- I would rate this a four.
Five for me, I like, at least was happy with it.
- I'd probably give these like a 9 out of 10, honestly.
I'm a big fan of this.
- Yeah, I would rate it a four.
- 8 out of 10.
- (sighs) I'd rate this an eight.
- Too much cheese, too much breading.
- With the sauce.
- With the sauce, it definitely needs the ranch.
- (announcer) Tonight's top story. (Jeannie laughs)
- Oh, this is good.
(Char laughs) - Oh wow.
- (announcer) Police have released this sketch of the suspect.
Hey Janet, that looks like you. - This is amazing!
- (Janet) No, that must be my evil twin!
- Oh my God, this is good.
- This is what I'm most excited for.
- Oh! (Jeannie gasps)
- Cherries and limes inside the soda.
I feel like that seems kinda extra for a fast food joint.
- Look at the damn ice.
I'm already sold! - Bro!
- (PvF) Next, we've got the iconic cherry limeade,
that infuses fresh squeezed lime with cherry flavor
for a refreshing drink like no other.
- This is about to slap. - Sour.
- I like that they give you like a little cherry, too.
- It's like a cherry Sprite.
- I'm dead. (laughs) - I'm alive!
- I'm not gonna lie, like I love soda,
and this is just putting a lot of serotonin in my body.
- (PvF) You can actually buy bags of Sonic ice
while you're at Sonic's. (both laugh)
- Really, you can get this ice for your house?
(ice crackling)
- I would give this a nine.
- 9 out of 10.
- I would give this like a 7 out of 10.
- It's fine, it does its job.
- I would rate this a 13. It deserves three bonus points.
- I'd give this a 10 out of 10. It's my favorite thing by far.
- I will say all in all, probably a 10.
- (T.J.) 50 cent corn dogs all day on Halloween!
- Ooh! - (laughs) It's the two guys again!
- Oh these guys, yeah, you were saying.
- Ooh!
- Okay.
- Yeah. (laughs) - It's Dumb and Dumber for Sonic.
- Okay. - This is the real test, bro.
- This is really serious, man. - Dude!
- I'm serious about my corn dogs!
- You can mess up a corn dog.
- Yeah. - They get claps!
- That deserves a round of applause. - They get claps.
(Anais laughs)
- Ooh!
- (PvF) So how do you feel about drive through corn dogs?
This delicious beef hot dog is wrapped in a sweet corn batter,
and fried to a crispy golden brown.
- Alright, let's go for it.
- It's pretty good.
- I don't think I'm gonna like it, dude.
- You're not gonna eat your mustard?
- I wanna taste the corn dog.
- That was a really sad corn dog.
- I really like it.
- It is a 50 cent corn dog, I'm not going to complain.
- A 25 cent hot dog, and a 25 cent batter.
- The honey mustard is so good with it!
- I had to like work to get to the hot dog.
- I personally wouldn't get it, but for 50 cents,
if you just wanted like a corn dog, this is great for the kids.
- I would give this one though like a 7 out of 10.
- I'm gonna give this a solid eight,
and especially because the crust itself is really buttery.
- I would rate this a one.
I can't. - Woo!
- I'd probably give this like a 6 out of 10.
- I would give this an eight as well.
- I would rate this a two.
- It is as described, a 50 cent corn dog.
- This is like a sweet tooth person's place.
- Yeah! - Yeah.
- Even the savory is sweet, which is very upsetting for me.
- (Peter) I love getting breakfast at Sonic.
If half of your brain wants something...
- Dang, they love these guys. - These guys are funny.
- (laughs) Yeah, they are. - They're comedic.
- Yeah, these guys again.
- Oh oh oh, I get it! So one's sweet and one's savory.
- Oh! - That's what, okay.
- That makes sense. - Okay.
- (Peter) That your brain was smart enough to understand
what I'm talking about when I'm talking about your brain.
- (T.J.) Hmm, I lost you after I wish. - Cinnamon.
- Cinnasnacks!
- Ooh! - What is that sauce, thank you.
- From Cinnabon? Cream cheese frosting?
Oh boy. - Yes!
- I'm in trouble.
- (PvF) Warm, buttery bites stuffed with gooey cinnamon roll filling,
and served with a real cream cheese frosting,
the Cinnabon Cinnasnacks taste so good.
- Okay. - That looks so good.
- So you guys are gonna get really two different reactions.
- Holy crap. This is phenomenal.
- I'm ready. Stop, stop.
If you like it, I know I'm gonna love it.
- Whoa, that shook me.
- Whoa, it's so sweet though.
- It's just like gooey cinnamon. This is dangerous.
- Oh, it's just squishing out.
- I can't even breathe, this is how good this is.
- It's so moist!
- Easily, this is a 10 out of 10.
- I would give this like a 10 out of 10.
- I would give it a 10 out of 10, but it's just so good,
I would go for a 15 out of 10.
- I'm gonna give it a seven.
- 7 out of 10.
- I would rate it a six.
- I would order this just to have like one.
- Yeah, share the rest. - Yeah, then I would share the rest.
I don't think I could finish. - Yeah.
- (PvF) How do you feel about Sonic?
- I get the hype.
- Their savory stuff? Eh.
- Yeah, but the sweets... - But their sweets...
- Sonic feels a little bit more gourmet than fast food.
- (PvF) We've tallied up the scores and the cherry limeade
was everyone's favorite of the day.
- I'm telling you! - Yes.
- Oh! - Yeah.
- Not a surprise. - That was my favorite.
- Ah. - I get it, that makes sense.
- And that's why I keep going back to it.
Look how much ice is in this!
Do you... (ice crackles)
- Thank you guys so much for watching.
- What other foods should we try next time?
- Let us know in the comments below.
- And be sure to like and subscribe to People Vs Food.
- Bye guys!
- Bye! - Bye.
- (PvF) Sonic has a Miami location called Sonic Beach
that serves beer and wine in their dining rooms.
- Ooh!
- Can you spike any of the drinks at this place?
- (PvF) I would assume so.
- It's Miami girl, have you been?
- Nah, I haven't. - Oh, okay.
- Yeah, they won't let me, they don't want me in Miami.
- Oh, yeah, they're not ready for Jair.
- They're not ready for me in Miami.
