Sonic....not so much

Yes, I'm sure after I post this blog I'll get many disagreements and disgusts for bashing on an American favorite, Sonic. Before I go on my rant about Sonic I do want to clarify not all things about Sonic are bad.Well its all bad but some things aren't as bad. No matter where you are nobody's drinks seem to taste better than at Sonic and especially during happy hour. You will continue to see me at Sonic on a weekly basis getting my favorite strawberry slush. Now for the main point of the post is the food at Sonic. I remember when I was little we always went and got the brown bag special at Sonic for really cheap. I know Sonic has fairly cheap and fast food but after tonight I never was turned off from a fast food joint so harshly than tonight. Jonathan and I were watching Biggest Loser ironically when we decided to get Sonic. It seemed to fit our budget and it was right down the street. Its crazy how sometimes if you add convenience and ease to the mix you'll almost surpass all of your rules and beliefs just to knock off the hassle and time. We normally try not to eat unhealthy stuff but since we've both been tight on money some nights we've just had to eat cheap. Also it's kind of been a running joke/thing to eat junk food on Biggest Looser night after one night realizing that's what we've been doing on Tuesday nights.

So I went tonight and got us two chicken sandwiches that had bacon on it and ranch I think. Also sometimes my eyes are bigger than my stomach so I thought what the heck I'll order tater tots and onion rings. After getting back and sorting out the food nothing looked appealing about the whole meal, except my drink! While watching the show and inhaling my sandwich I started to notice just how awful this sandwich tastes! Not only was the sandwich terrible but the side items had so much salt on them I almost felt my arteries clogging at the moment. The bun was completely soaked in grease and the bottom bun had charcoal nastiness all over it. I kept thinking just finish this off so you won't be hungry later. I decided to take off the bun and try to eat the meat but the look and smell of the bacon and cheese completely appalled me. Their was nothing real looking about the cheese. It almost looked like those toy cheeseburgers that every little girl had to go in their little play kitchen. Then the bacon just smelled like it had been sitting out since breakfast and tasted like it too. Anyhoo, after all that I just threw it away and gave up. I even had to go wash my hands just to get that fatty, greasy smell off of them. If you ever want to be turned off from fast food just go stand behind a McDonald's and that smell should do it for ya. Sorry for the venting but I just had to let it be known. Now I shall leave you all with some great nutrition facts from some local joints!

SONIC:
Sonic Blast is 980 calories and 45 grams of fat.
Ched 'R' Bites are 360 calories and 21 grams of fat.

Chili's:
Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad is 910 calories and 58 GRAMS OF FAT!
Oldtimer Burger is 880 calories and 51 grams of fat!
Chicken Crispers is 1880 calories and 130 grams of fat!
Molten Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream is 1270 calories and 62 grams of fat!

Actually Chick-Fil-A is not that bad and probably one of the healthier fast food chains!

Ok so I'm tired of posting this stuff but you should go to your favorite place and get the nutrition facts, you'll be shocked!!

I am not a big Sonic fan either. I've tried but nothing there really appeals to me. Chick-fil-a on the other hand...I LOVE me some Chick-fil-a!!

I remember the Brown Bag specials...I agree too, Sonic lately has been pretty pricey. I haven't tried their $1 menu yet.
