Sonic Celebrates National Corn Dog Day with Deep-Fried Deals and New Strawberry Mangonada Slush
Sonic Drive-In, the beloved fast-food chain known for its retro vibe and craveable menu items, is gearing up to celebrate National Corn Dog Day in style. This Saturday, March 15th, participating Sonic locations nationwide will be offering their classic Corn Dogs for a mere 99 cents, a significant discount from their typical price of around $3.50. This deep-fried deal is a perfect opportunity for corn dog enthusiasts and budget-conscious snackers alike to indulge in a quintessential American treat.
The 99-cent Corn Dog promotion is Sonic’s annual homage to National Corn Dog Day, a celebration of the iconic food item that has been a staple of American cuisine for decades. The humble corn dog, a hot dog dipped in a sweet corn batter and deep-fried to golden-brown perfection, holds a special place in the hearts (and stomachs) of many.
Sonic’s Corn Dog is no exception. Described in a recent press release as the "ultimate snack," the Sonic Corn Dog is a testament to the simple pleasures of fried food. The crispy corn batter provides a satisfying crunch, giving way to the savory hot dog inside. Whether you’re a purist who prefers a simple squirt of mustard or a ketchup connoisseur, the Sonic Corn Dog offers a blank canvas for your favorite condiments.
Sonic encourages customers to complete their National Corn Dog Day experience by pairing their discounted treat with other Sonic favorites. Classic sides like Tots and Groovy Fries are a natural complement to the corn dog’s salty goodness. For those seeking a refreshing beverage, Sonic boasts an extensive drink menu, offering everything from classic fountain sodas to their signature slushes.
But the National Corn Dog Day celebration isn’t the only exciting thing happening at Sonic. The fast-food chain is also introducing a brand new limited-time offering: the Strawberry Mangonada Slush. Inspired by the popular Mexican mangonada, this innovative slush is sure to tantalize taste buds with its unique blend of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors.
The Strawberry Mangonada Slush features a tangy slush base infused with the sweet taste of ripe strawberries. What sets this drink apart is the addition of Tajín Clásico chili lime seasoning, a popular Mexican spice blend that adds a zesty kick to the sweet and fruity slush. The combination of sweet strawberry, tangy slush, and spicy Tajín creates a complex and surprisingly refreshing flavor profile that is perfect for spring.
The Strawberry Mangonada Slush is exclusively available on the Flavorista Favorites menu, which can be accessed through the Sonic App or website. This digital-only availability encourages customers to download the Sonic App and explore its many features, including mobile ordering and exclusive deals.
Sonic’s dedication to offering value and variety extends beyond these limited-time promotions. Earlier this year, the chain unveiled its new "Daily Cravings & Savings" menu, a collection of affordable menu items available exclusively through the Sonic App or website. This menu features deals on classic Sonic favorites, including Quarter Pound Double Cheeseburgers, Classic Sonic Cheeseburgers, and Chili Cheese Coneys. A selection of drinks and slushes are also included in the "Daily Cravings & Savings" menu, providing customers with a wide range of options at unbeatable prices.
In addition to the "Daily Cravings & Savings" menu, Sonic continues to offer its updated .99 menu, which launched last July. This menu features several items for just $1.99, providing even more opportunities for customers to enjoy their favorite Sonic treats without breaking the bank. The .99 menu includes items like the Grilled Cheese Burger, Small Cream Slushes, Queso Wraps, and the Soft Pretzel Twist. This diverse selection of affordable options ensures that there’s something for everyone on the .99 menu.
Sonic’s commitment to value and innovation is a testament to its enduring popularity. Since adding corn dogs to its menu in the late 1950s, Sonic has remained a beloved destination for fast-food enthusiasts. Its retro drive-in format, combined with its consistently delicious menu and its willingness to experiment with new flavors and promotions, has made Sonic a cultural icon.
The National Corn Dog Day promotion and the introduction of the Strawberry Mangonada Slush are just the latest examples of Sonic’s commitment to providing its customers with a fun, affordable, and delicious dining experience. By offering discounted corn dogs and innovative new menu items, Sonic is not only celebrating a beloved American food holiday but also reaffirming its position as a leader in the fast-food industry.
So, this Saturday, March 15th, head to your nearest participating Sonic Drive-In and celebrate National Corn Dog Day with a 99-cent Corn Dog. While you’re there, be sure to try the new Strawberry Mangonada Slush for a taste of sweet, tangy, and spicy perfection.
