#18: Eat at a Sonic.

For those who have never heard of Sonic, it is the nation's only chain of drive-in-only, eat-in-your-car restaurants. Anytime you sit down to watch TV in the Philly area, you are bound to see at least one commercial for one of their $1 mini-entree specials or their world-famous fruit smoothies. And yet, I have never ever seen one in person. You'd think from the number of ads that they would be springing up left and right, but honestly I've never passed one that I can remember, let alone eaten at one. Granted, it could have been that I just wasn't looking for them.


On our way home from the beach, Mom and I decided we were in the mood for Sonic-type food. We called Pop-Pop back at the house to look up the closest one to Rehoboth. He called us back with a number to call to find nearby Sonics. Mom was aggravated by this, but we were desperate for Sonic, so we did whatever we had to do.

Eventually, we passed a sign that said "Sonic: next exit", so we took a detour to cross one more off the list. Not knowing how it worked, we parked our car, got out and walked over to the drive-in station to view the menu. We then realized the error of our ways, hopped back in tbe car and pulled into the drive in space. Mom ordered a corn dog and a strawberry lemonade smoothie while I had chicken nuggets with ranch dressing and honey mustard plus a grape smoothie. Within (no exaggeration) three minutes, out food was brought to our car by a nice Sonic employee wearing roller skates. (How cool is that?! When was the last time you got your Big Mac on a skateboard? I think NEVER!)

And it was DEEEEEEEELICIOUS.

Honestly, it was worth the extra five minutes out of the way and the number of carbs it was worth (Mom's point, not mine... I need all the carbs I can get =P). I would absolutely go back to a Sonic. If I could find one... oh, well! At least I found ONE!
