Sonic drinks...

There is not much on this earth that I love more than a fountain drink from Sonic. I go back and forth between Diet Dr Pepper or Vanilla Diet Coke. I love go to once in a while in the morning before a big work day and get a big drink that lasts throughout the day.

So this morning (I'm planning to design today), I thought I'd scrape up some change and go get a vanilla diet coke. My mouth was watering at the thought.

Traffic was horrible, but I knew it would be worth it...

I ordered my drink, pulled out onto the busy street...

took a big drink.

UGH! Wrong drink. It's not diet (which I realize the vanilla totally negates the "diet" factor, but it's the taste I'm going for). It's just a plain vanilla coke. Blech.

Yes, I could've turned around and gone back and probably should have, but I didn't.

So I'll still drink it, but I'm choosing to grumble for a little bit. ;)
 
poor Libster, grumble away. I don't think I could drink regular. I do so love the taste of diet. and diet vanilla coke is yummy . . . mmm.
 
ITA!! While I don't have a Sonic near us, I hate it whenever I get a regular instead of diet. The overpowering amount is sugar is just too much.
 
I was sad the other day when we went to Denny's...DH and I *really* wanted cherry cokes (they make them better up here than in the US, btw...we just use cherry syrup rather than actual cherries, lmao - that was disturbing when we were in CA) but they were all out of the syrup. Boo!!
 
I hate when you get something you are craving and its wrong. I love Sonic drinks, too bad the nearest one to me is like a 6-7 hour drive, but I went like 2 or 3 times when I was in San Antonio this summer. :thumbup: I had a Diet Cherry Coke on Wednesday from Johnny Rockets though, yummy.
 
Soooo here's what you do.... call the Sonic and tell them that you got the wrong drink and it's not diet which is what you ordered. Most places will put you in the "book" to make it up to you on your next visit!!!
 
It's on an old blog that is now closed, but Tab and I posted an entry about our love of Sonic and how, one day two summers ago, we drove 45 minutes TWICE in one week to have a Sonic slush! I was pg with Naomi and wanted them SO bad. Now, they've built Sonic closer thank goodness!

I love Happy Hour :D
 
I love going to Sonic for happy hour after school. My drink of choice is Diet Coke with diet cherry and vanilla.

Sonic has many memories for me...
Single college student: Once when I went home from college and got so stinkin' drunk at a wedding, the next day I couldn't keep anything down, but had to get back to school. On the 5 hour drive back, we stopped at a Sonic and that burger was the first thing that stayed down.

Just married: My DH and I stopped there after our wedding on the way to our reception for a cherry limeade - we got a weird look from the "waiter."

With kids: Then once I ran out of gas in the drive-through, with all 4 boys in the car. I had to walk up to the window and ask if someone could come push us to the gas station next door. I only had $5 cash with me that I was going to use for our drinks at Sonic. But the gas station only took cash...so I never went back to get our drinks. I don't think we went back to that Sonic until we got a new vehicle. :)

Ahhhh...good times.
 
I hit happy hour every Tues and Thurs. And my Sonic has 99 cent large drinks before 10 am. :thumbup:

Have you tried Vanilla Dr. Pepper? That is my fav!

i am a cherry vanilla dr. pepper addict!!! if dani checks this thread she can tell you how bad i am..LOL !!!! i am sooo glad they have happy hour now but i don't go like everyday. i go maybe twice a week now. mmmm now i am craving one!
 
I so love Cherry Limeades!!! :wub: They were a MAJOR craving for me when I was preggo w/ C. I had to have them like every day. Ahhhhhh...memories. :D :D :D
 
Yuck! I know what you mean. I love diet cherry limeades and one time they messed up and gave me a regular. Yucka!
 
Ugh that really sucks when that happens! Now I'm wanting to hop in the van and drive down the street to Sonic for a Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper lol! Except I have way too much stuff to get done for Kaylie's sleepover/birthday party tonight. Someone make me get off this computer and get back to work lol!!
 
The thing I love most about Sonic drinks is their ice. Those little pellets are so irresistable to crunch! :)
 
I love Sonic drinks, but I mainly love their ice. In fact, their ice was my major craving during my last pregnancy and my poor husband had to go three times a week minimum to buy a bag of their ice. LOL Both of my brothers worked at Sonic, and my mother still goes daily to get two Route 44 diet cokes. They know her by name and they have her drinks ready before she even finishes giving her order.
 
so explain to me.. their pop is no different than regular pop though right? i'm all about the ice so is that what does it for most people too? LOL
