SONIC is a DRIVE-IN and driven-in food is usually eaten in the car at the driven-in. The food is hotter/tastier and cold stuff has less time to melt.

[@michlkwitz]

Oh, and I'm really starting to think y'all should order two of everything at the fast food places, just so that Mrs. H actually gets to eat some of it.

[@mydachshundlife]

Speaking as a former Sonic carhop (my first job), the cherry limeades have a stronger flavor if you put your finger over the lid and shake it a bit-the cherry flavor tends to be towards the bottom, so if you shake it, it redistributes.

[@rgractor]

As an OG Sonic lover from my youth who drank waaaayyy too many Cherry Limeades, this is the way. It’d be cool if they could get tips like this in advance.

That center lane with arrows going each way are lovingly referred to as suicide lanes in Texas. It is a turning lane for both directions. The bread is soft because the whole dog (bread and all) is placed in a steamer for several seconds before being delivered. Their onion rings are battered with an ice cream base!

[@geegs120]

Wanted to mention those "suicide lanes" you just want to get in and turn from there = you don't want to travel within them too far. Some people travel in them too far and its dangerous.

[@wordkyle]

1) As a dad myself, it's nice to see Alana so eager to share her food. Watching kids with good manners is a pleasure. 2) Sonic's food is solid, though probably not the best in any one category. Quality of food and service can vary from store to store. But you don't even have to get out of your car! 3) The tater tot may be western civilization's greatest invention. 4) Do you guys have something against catsup? I've watched you eat fast food in several videos, and you always dip your fried potatoes in some other sauce.

Sonic was founded right here in Oklahoma! I think the quality was slightly better before they were bought out by a parent company but they're still one of my favorite places for a quick bite. The fried pickles are only on the menu a couple of times a year but until the late '80's they had a permanent spot on the menu as Pickle-O's (round pickle chips instead of spears). Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LordLOC]

Of all the fast-food joints in the US, I feel like Sonic is the most hit or miss. Sometimes you'll get super freshly made very well-made food. And other times you'll get crap old food that tastes like it was in a time capsule from 1982.

There are still plenty of Sonics where carhops wear skates. Though depends which one, I last saw that a few years ago.

I've always gone to Sonic for snacks or treats. Not so much food/ meals, but finger foods and shakes. Although I do enjoy a footlong coney.

[@Do0msday]

Sonic isn't perfect and isn't exactly gourmet or anything like that, but in terms of cheap/affordable/fast food it's terrific in my book. There's a really good variety so you can always find something you're in the mood for and the drinks are great. Like any fast food place it does depend on the workers (some stores are better than others), but as a whole they're the type of place that punches up. The food, variety, and prices are much better than you would expect for what you pay and that's a great thing. I would take Sonics over McDonalds any day of the week.

[@jonathonfrazier6622]

Its top tier for me. If I instantly became a billionaire, I'm celebrating by going to Sonic.

[@yugioht42]

Dill is a type of herb. It’s used in making pickle brine. It’s also used as a herb in lamb. It’s not really that strong of a taste. It’s also known as dillweed. They used it like a pun in that sign. By itself in a hot pot it’s an interesting addition as flavors are way different when fully cooked.

[@geegs120]

There is a song from the '70s titled "Afternoon Delight" - I think they are doing a play on words w that.

There was a song in the 70's called Afternoon Delight. I guess they're making a play on that with Afternoon Dill Light advertising their pickle fries. I go to Sonic in the summer for their Cherry Limeade but haven't eaten there in years..

Fried pickles are definitely an American diner staple. And bars/pubs too. Same w fried mushroom and fried cauliflower. After a night at the bar most of us have ordered one of those before we leave and enjoyed every bite.

[@chrisj3318]

Sonic is quite literally the only fast food place i ever go to , mostly because it's right down the road from me , but luckily i like it.

[@philstone3859]

Sonic can be hit and miss. It depends on who’s working like any other kitchen, it’s only as good as the people working there. It used to be higher quality years ago, but now it’s just cheap, I need to eat something now, type food. That’s how I feel about it. Now, I know they have a very popular, customizable, drink selection that you can’t get anywhere else, so they have that going for them.

[@GreenBeamzzz]

Sonics drinks are amazing the food is good too though

[@MizGator]

not gonna lie, it broke my heart that no one told you the ranch was for the fried pickles. It cuts the sour taste of the pickle.

Hola! 😊 While you guys are a few minutes from San Antonio you should try the Carne guisada tacos, chorizo and eggs, gorditas, and barbacoa tacos. I highly recommend going to Lockhart or Luling, Texas, which is not far, for sausage. Try Black's or Chisholm trail. Gonzales, Texas meat market is good too. Oh and San Antonio is the home of the puffy taco.

Well, while you were in Texas you were close to the original first Sonic. Shawnee Oklahoma!! I used to eat at Sonics in Tulsa Oklahoma. Of course I live in Texas now and I still eat there.

Hi guys. My name is Lori . We have Sonic practically almost every where in Texas. My favorite items on the menu are the cheeseburger with no onions and either French fries or tator tots and the steak sandwich is good too. I also recommend trying the ice cream there is so good and you can get it in a cone or a dish and they have really good milkshakes too. They also have a nice kiddie meal for children and you get a choice and it comes with a prize in it . I’d make sure that you have the one that takes your order to repeat it before you get it so won’t have anything missing from it .

[@gwilliams9589]

Worked at sonic in high school. Pickleo’s and cheese covered tater tots were a major seller in the late 70’s

[@jesusislord88]

Chili cheese tots are super underrated, one of my favs growing up. Love the nostalgia y'all are bringing me through on your channel. Most Brits, or foreigners, doing these types of channels aren't reviewing such places. I used to go here with the boys, or after a baseball game when I played in junior high, with my mom and sister. Great memories. Two great drinks and my go toos, cherry limeade, and the lemon berry slush if they still have it. Oh, and jalapeño cheddar poppers and mozzarella cheese sticks with their marinara and ranch dipping sauces. If y'all haven't had fried mushhrooms with ranch, try that too, and even better fried pickles in some of our sitdown restaurants. 🔥

I think the sign "afternoon dill light" might be a pickle-related pun (maybe in reference to their pickle-fries?). Also, "afternoon dill light" sounds similar to "afternoon delight", which would be a delight one would experience during the afternoon. That's my best guess. (Sorry for not being able to give you a more definitive answer.)

[@fireakems8279]

Afternoon "delight" made a play-on-words because of the pickles - dill pickles. So afternoon "Dill light".
