real comfort food trying to get out of my comfort zone and these guys keep pulling me back in sonic
drive-in may serve up unique american classics like corn dogs tater tots and soft pretzels
but here are 10 things that you should never order from the sonic menu consider yourself told
oh thank you popcorn chicken do you have any idea what's in those mystery meat nuggets not a clue
no one does some foods like pizza are kind of good no matter what state they come in
luke warm overcooked or even cold but fried chicken is just not the same it just needs to be
done right the chicken needs to be simultaneously juicy and crispy and it needs to be well spiced
otherwise eating fried chicken can be underwhelming at best and at worst totally
disgusting sonic's popcorn chicken is not that bad per se i feel this chicken isn't that bad
many other places offer far worse versions of this dish that said the popcorn chicken at sonic
certainly doesn't fall under the great column either not by a long shot the chicken is quite dry
and not particularly crispy or juicy either worst of all it's under seasoned and the overall
taste is mediocre if you don't dip the popcorn chicken in any of sonic's dipping sauces overall
sonic's popcorn chicken does not compete on the same level as some other fast food chains where
you can get popcorn chicken like kfc and jack in the box so why would you order it at sonic french
fries and what are you doing with this i'm eating you cannot eat fast food what makes the perfect
french fry like with many foods there are some different opinions on this matter but most would
agree that a well-made french fry needs to be golden in color relatively light fresh crispy
and must be delicious french fries at fast food chains like kfc mcdonald's five guys and arby's
have become wildly popular and even famous among junk food fans so what about french fries at sonic
unfortunately french fries at sonic don't seem to meet many of these criteria they are limp
and far from being crispy making eating them an unsatisfying and strange experience that you might
not want to repeat the french fries at sonic are pretty tasteless and unappetizing i'm home
the salty flavor you look for in a french fry is not there the only solution is to dip the
fries in one of sonic's dipping sauces like ketchup honey mustard or barbecue sauce to get
any enjoyment from eating them which is far from ideal so the next time you're at
your local sonic outlet you're better off not ordering the french fries there are many better
options to choose from on the sonic drive-in menu anyway milkshakes i'm allergic to peanut butter
since when birth food allergies can have a pretty significant impact on people's lives among the top
foods that cause allergic reactions are milk eggs and peanuts this is terrible news if you
happen to order a milkshake from sonic according to people who have worked at sonic there is a lot
of cross-contamination between milkshakes and the blenders why you ask after all there
are many milkshake options at sonic that don't appear to contain peanuts like the strawberry
cheesecake sonic blast the caramel brownie sonic blast or the triple chocolate sonic blast
all of these options taste great and appear to be nut free so there shouldn't be a problem
unfortunately that would be wrong your strawberry cheesecake could contain small but
still significant amounts of peanuts this could be a real problem if you have a peanut allergy
some people with a peanut allergy just get rashes or digestive problems but they are the lucky ones
others can have a severe allergic reaction leading to breathing problems and possibly a trip to the
er or even death so cross-contamination is no joking matter if you have a nut allergy
don't order a milkshake at sonic or anything that is made in a blender for that matter
a few moments of pleasure are definitely not worth spending the night at your local hospital
chicken slinger you can tell by the first date if you like somebody else tmi i don't know how
that ties into a chicken sandwich fried chicken sandwiches are among the most popular fast food
options out there today and why wouldn't they be they seem to hit all the right notes and are so
tasty and satisfying a lot of fast food chains do them right too some of the best examples include
wendy's arby's and mcdonald's all of them offer mouth-watering chicken sandwiches in different
forms but what if you happen to be at sonic how do they compete in this particular category sonic
has some great chicken sandwiches like the classic crispy chicken sandwich that may be worth trying
but one chicken sandwich you definitely should not be ordering at sonic is the chicken slinger
the name gives the impression that this sandwich is avant-garde and packed with flavor and indeed
in pictures the chicken slinger looks as good as any other chicken sandwich i'm gonna put some dirt
in your eye the bun seems fluffy and appealing the mayonnaise looks smooth and seductive and
the chicken itself looks succulent and crispy but beware don't judge a book by its cover in reality
the chicken in this sandwich is pretty bland and boring it does not taste like much the texture's
all right but that's not enough to enjoy this sandwich you need more seasoning to jazz things up
a bit as it stands the chicken slinger is fairly dull and pretty forgettable plain vanilla ice
cream i created a vanilla ice cream pita covered in magic shell why calling someone vanilla implies
that they're not particularly exciting or cool no one likes to be called vanilla it is definitely
not a compliment in most people's books but the derogatory connotations of vanilla don't only
apply to people many dessert lovers also associate plain vanilla flavored ice cream with being a
little mundane compared to flavors like mint chocolate chip cookie dough or butter pecan or
any of the hundreds of other flavors out there but of course there are exceptions does anyone mind if
i turn the thermostat down to 32 degrees baskin robins breyers ben and jerry's and friendlies
make great vanilla ice cream that goes the extra mile to make this subtle flavor compelling but how
does sonic's vanilla ice cream do in comparison to their competitors for starters many customers
have referred to sonic's vanilla ice cream as a little bland unless it is mixed with other flavors
or used as part of a milkshake that includes fruit or pieces of chocolate but that's not the worst
part some sonic employees have really questioned the hygiene when it comes to the ice cream making
process at the fast food chain alleging that the mixers used to make the ice cream
are never washed properly that doesn't sound too reassuring when you're about to start slurping
that extra large sonic milkshake breakfast burrito this burrito is delicious but it is filling
burritos originated in mexico in the early 1900s in the state of sonora this state was famous for
harvesting large quantities of wheat which in turn led to mass production of tortillas which paved
the way for the invention of the burrito which was essentially leftover rice and beans inside
a tortilla but was the breakfast burrito invented in mexico most people don't think so historians
generally agree that the breakfast burrito we know today was actually invented in the u.s state of
new mexico in the 1970s so in other words unlike other burritos the breakfast burrito is actually
an american invention through and through deal with it america and indeed there are many great
places where you can get breakfast burritos in the u.s according to many fast food lovers at one time
the supersonic breakfast burrito was near the top and among the best breakfast burritos money could
buy but recently there's been a change many people have complained that the taste of the cheese used
by sonic has become artificial and tasteless this heavily processed type of cheese does not make
for a good breakfast burrito so if faced with a choice don't make the mistake of ordering the
breakfast burrito at sonic boneless chicken wings sonic's got some bold wing flavors have we ever
tried anything more daring what's the criteria for fast food usually it's good value for money
tasty convenient and well fast and indeed at sonic most of their menu items tick these boxes but one
exception is their boneless chicken wings the boneless wings at sonic have been praised for
being packed with flavor especially when combined with the excellent sauces available like the asian
sweet chili buffalo and barbecue sauces but the problem with the boneless wings at sonic is that
they take significantly longer to make than other items on the sonic menu some have claimed this is
because boneless chicken wings at sonic are made totally fresh unlike other fast food chains that
tend to reheat their wings disgusting all of this is great if you have a little bit of time and
you want to enjoy a quality meal but if you're looking to eat on the go and you're in a hurry
this may not be the right order for you on average an order of boneless chicken wings
at sonic will take a little over 10 minutes which is substantially more time than other popular menu
items at the chain sonic chili cheese coney what's that it's my save for my million-dollar hot dog
the sonic chili cheese coney consists of a beef hot dog covered in a meat-based chili and melted
cheese inside a hot dog bun it's received a lot of positive feedback for being super tasty and
flavorful like the kind of chili dog you get at your local carnival all sounds good right that's
all right but unfortunately employees who work at sonic have pointed out that the chili sonic uses
for the chili cheese coneys and some other menu items are far from fresh and may be left out for
as long as 10 hours before being replaced this can be a fundamental matter of concern when it
comes to food contamination chile generally needs to be refrigerated so that it doesn't start to go
bad who wants rotten chili in their hot dogs any sugar-free items oh yeah i'm just staying
with the regular yeah i went with cherry oh no thank you you've got to give it a try it is now
common knowledge that consuming too much sugar can cause various health problems even people who
enjoy desserts regularly without any real issues might choose to enjoy a sugar-free treat every now
and then why not it can't hurt can it but should you order a sugar-free slush at sonic
it's probably not a good idea if you really want to cut out the sugar man that tastes just like
watermelon according to people who have worked at sonic outlets sugar-free slushes at sonic are a
bit of a misnomer or maybe even a total misnomer first the sonic server gets you a regular slush
and then adds a sugar-free syrup to the mix and indeed there are many delicious sounding
sugar-free options including blackberry and mango and most people who have tried them say they taste
great and are pretty close to the real thing however there's a problem while the syrups do
not contain any refined sugar according to sonic employees the actual slush mix is full of sugar
that's a bummer if you explicitly ordered something that you thought was sugar-free
sonic blast oh yeah why are you wearing that sash because i'm a blast scout pete i don't know
if that is we're dedicated to the enjoyment of blast sonic is most famous for the sonic blast a
special kind of milkshake that is often mixed with various types of chocolates candies or cookies
before being topped with a generous topping of whipped cream you can't really go wrong with
that right i declare to be the finest in the land the only problem is that there have been
some serious complaints by some sonic customers about the contents of the milkshakes some people
claim to have found broken pieces of plastic inside the milkshake which is pretty off-putting
the reasons for this strange phenomenon remained a mystery for quite a long time but eventually
some sonic employees revealed the scary truth behind this matter according to them it's pretty
common for blenders at restaurants to break the blast serving cups while blending the milkshakes
which sometimes results in broken pieces of plastic in your milkshake this is not the kind of
thing that you should ignore a lot of research has shown that eating plastics could potentially cause
significant health problems to various organs in your body who wants to take that risk probably
best to stay away from the sonic blast at any cost stick around just tap or click another great video
