Talking Sonic Drive In

So I got extremely bored today and switched on the TV. I saw another damned commercial for Sonic. Me being angry that there are absolutely none around me... I looked up the nearest one and found it in Lancaster! So an hour and a half later I arrived!


Looks like cobalts love sonic!


Mine does!


I love their 99 cent banana splits. I had 3 of em!

So anyways... Sonic is amazing. And thats what I did today.

Theres a kid that works at my local Sonic the drives a yellow cobalt coupe. I keep trying to stop when he/she is working, but when I see the car there I do not have the time to stop. Other than myself it is the only other cobalt coupe in town.

Boy, you sure are a sucker for fast food Merc! If I had to drive to the nearest Sonic, I probably would have to make a mulit-day trip to somewhere in the US! Any in Washington, Idaho or Montana????

I always love the variety you guys get down there for fast food. Our KFC's don't offer some of the sides yours do (no mashed patatoes, corn, etc...)! You usually have a better pop selection too. Although I hate unsweetened iced tea. In Canada I have yet to even find a fast food place that sells unsweetended iced tea! How do you guys drink that stuff???

Funny you say that because I am actually a very health conscious person. That was the first time I had fast food in 2 1/2 months!


I figured if I was going to eat fast food, it should be worth it

Wait a minute you mean to tell me there's one in Lancaster County and I didn't know about it??? Just looked it up...43 miles from Mechanicsburg, PA. Holy f'in crap. Next time I'm home in PA I'm driving my happy ass across the Susquehanna to Ephrata!!! The closest one to me here in Western South Dakota is in Nebraska 161 miles away! I'm another one of those people that get's pissed when I see Sonic commercials. All the food and drinks look delicious, but there's never one close enough until I looked it up!

I got so tired of seeing their comercials and not having any around me at all, that I started looking into their franchise agreements.

I figured, if no one else is going to build one, I might as well!

Turns out you need to already own another franchise of some sort AND have a minimum net worth of $500,000.00

So for anyone that meets those qualifications, PLEASE build one around my area!

I guarentee you will make a lot of money!

The closest one to me is in Boise, Idaho. That's over 500 miles from Seattle. Oh well, I'm going to Cali next month and getting a fix of In-N-Out!

This situation reminds me of the movie "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle".

My Father was looking into going into a franchise with them around my way but we don't have a franchise already..
