Things to Order at Sonic Healthy Menu Choices and Diet Details

I work at Sonic. The secret menu is a load of BS that people just make up…

I’ve worked at Sonic lol, I’ve never seen us have ham or really any of these things at my location…

Yea I work at sonic too…we don’t have a secret menu but the purple sprite she was asking about DOES exist…not many employees know about it and the ones I work with refer to the drink as a “purple orgasm” basically it’s just a shot of lemonade, a shot of cranberry juice, and a shot of powerade in sprite. Again its not so much a secret item as it is something someone decided to order one day, figured out it tastes amazing, and decided that it was worth sharing…again not all employees know about it so please don’t get mad when you ask for it and we have no clue what you’re talking about…The pickle-o thing is ridiculous unless they happened to have run out of them on that day or the guy was in training, in which case he is supposed to state that he is in training, so I’m not really sure what the issue was there…If they were out then he was right that we can’t make them because fried items are either bought pre-made or they are prepped that morning by one of the cooks, and once we run out all we can do is borrow from other stores until the truck comes in.

i work at sonic and we don’t sell ham, pineapple juice, and there’s no way for us to sell you fried pickles because there’s no way to price it.

I work at sonic. Some of these items we can’t make Any more. Sorry

All the people complaining about this and saying there’s no such thing as if they work for every sonic in the damn country

I asked the theatre convention I was going to to have vegan options, and they got me this legit sub with pickles, banana peppers, green peppers, mushrooms, onions and tomatoes and that shit was good! I added barbeque chips to it and I was so happy.

That “Purple Sprite” is called a “Purple Hippo”. We sell those to this day.

I’m excited about the slushies, but the meal was potatoes, onions, and a weak ass sandwich. I feel like these videos demonstrate that you have to eat like a rabbit at most restaurants when vegan, rather than demonstrating how easy it is to be vegan.

Honestly not bad to work at Sonic…I get alot if tips and also we don’t have to buy our own skates they gave them to us

“The cumberland county fair yall” I’m so happy someone finally brings up north carolina lmao.

These ppl at Sonic officially hate you. Them onion rings have probably been on the floor.

Omg omg I love the onion rings. I thought there’s weren’t vegan

Sometimes I’m going to a restaurant I didn’t plan on going to and I’m like omg what did cami order there again?? But I don’t have time to watch a video and I’m like I wish you put a little list in the description ��

2:06 “how do you put jolly ranchers into a drink I have no idea” oh cami i love how wholesome and pure u are cough lean cough cough

Yes you have to be able to roller blade or skate on 4 wheels…. worked there for 3 yrs

if you want to make some cash with McDonald’s Gift cards you gotta test freeBurger. Me. (eliminate spaces), It’s just Accomplished.

I quit Sonic like a month ago BECAUSE it is such a shit job. I would highly reccomend working ANYWHERE else. You pay for your own uniform (skates, jackets, gloves, hats, etc.), your tips are more often than not included into your wage (minimum wage at that), customers will complain on you if things don’t go EXACTLY their way (even if you have no power over things) and no matter how hard you work, it WILL be your fault because “the customer is always right”. People will order from the app while sitting at the stall and immediately call it in and wonder why 6 chicken burgers are taking so long.
And thats just the customers.
The coworkers are even worse, honestly.

We have the sonic sunrise and extreme tots, the the sunrise isn’t as common

Hi I work at sonic! A Dr Pepper float isn’t a secret menu that’s a drink we offer, we don’t see pickles, pineapples, or fritos anymore they’ve been discontinued. Extreme tots isn’t secret either lots of people get it, none of this is secret we literally make stuff like this all the time. The drinks though are weird though

I’ve already had that already I used to like fix those three together at the soda fountain the other restaurants but Sonic was calling it The Doctor Pepper orgasm LOL

When people say they’ve never had since before I almost shed a tear because I grew up on sonic

On the application it does ask if you can rollerblade. You get paid more if you can.

Gross. Had to thumbs it down after all that Coachella stuff in the beginning. I don’t know if two people could be more obnoxious than that.

Here in SC WE only have drive thru! No nothing about reusable cups! Or these secret menu items!
Where is the secret menu List! I’ll never remember these…..

I called sonic and the onion rings aren’t vegan it’s bread butter mixed with eggs lmao

As a worker at Sonic none of the food is vegan because it is all fried with the chicken and is filled with grease

At the sonic near my house, you can get rainbow nerds candy in your slush. It’s amazing!

This video is like a 12 minute commercial for Sonic®, but that’s OK because I love Sonic®. The best fast-food chili dog on the planet. I have decided to save everyone time and money by trying each and every item on this “secret” menu. I will then report back to you about their quality and taste. I know, it’s a big sacrifice but I will do this unselfish act for the sake of humanity. More will be revealed……

Come to Louisiana during college football season and get a Ragin Cajun Burger!

in my location i am one of the few employees who can work all three stations, drive thru, kitchen and carhop. id like to say yes the job sucks but honestly its not the worst. and yes sonic does give the skates to you. atleast in my store.

im vegan too, but in this series it makes vegan food looks so boring. Your personality is great and exciting and i love waching for you, but the food is always so sad.

I used to work there id be careful because the breading on the onion rings has egg and all food that is fried is used in the same oil all day so frozen meats are being cooked next your order

Fuck these people! They are everything wrong with moronic consumers

Fun fact Fayetteville is 3 hours and like 17 minutes away from me so

speaking as a former employee of several different sonics i find it funny that everyone is talking shit as a former employee but lets be honest yall probably are a bunch of shit heads

actually the original sonic is in stillwater oklahoma and not in okc and it is still in its original location there too

I’m a carhop…. I get paid under minimum wage, we don’t skate, and it will kick your butt some days. However, I love my sonic family and I couldn’t ask for better support. ❤️❤️

Working at a Sonic was probably like, my 2nd WORST experience at a job in my life.
I have countless stories regarding careless staff, health code violations, and rude customers.
Mice? Got em. Cockroaches? Got them too. Kitchen floor constantly soaked in ice cream, oil and spilled drinks. Management and crew would smoke weed in the kitchen and cigarettes in the storage room. Pay was abysmal; 5.50 an hour to carhop. Ice cream was always made without gloves. Management and crew did NOT care about making sure they made your food right.

Oh yeah, and we were ranked #1 Sonic in my state.

Pickle-os are a promotional item and are a store to store basis.

as for pineapple they got rid of it cause people didn’t order it as much. that’s why they got rid of the banana splits too

I work at sonic. If you tell us to make something, we usually will. Even if it isn’t on the menu.

I always order chilli cheese tater tots and add jalapenos and ranch yum yum

The voice over lady is so annoying. So cringe. Oh my God. It’s actually hard to watch the whole video

Theres a closer sonic to you im sure. At least i know theres one in Fullerton. I mean thats closer to you than Coachella.

I also work at sonic it’s always your way at my sdi in hollister mo tell us what you want in whatever and we can do it. Unless it’s a promotion at the time we won’t know what you mean when you give us a clever name of something.

Back in 1994 the Frito pie was on their regular menu and it cost less than a dollar back then

I’m always afraid to ask places to totally make up a sandwitch or something. Idk I kinda feel rude. But I think its cool. I do want it lol.

I work at Sonic they make there own they put egg on the onion rings but it could be egg replacement idk

Managed a sonic for two years, most of this either doesn’t exist, isnt a secret or there isnt a button for it. You can pretty much make any drink combination there and add any topping they serve to your food. If someone had asked me for most of this I would have been very confused. Dont try this, you will just feel like an idiot.

I work at sonic as a cook and my brother works as a skating carhop, I get that a lot of people have bad experiences working there but as far as my sonic seems, I mean we have nice management that gives hours you ask for, makes sure everybody gets a break before they do, and the store manager orders and pays for the carhops roller skates, spending around $80 for one pair.

Carhops here make $7.25 and cooks $8.00 carhops can get anywhere from as low as $15 tips in a night to $80+ nights. As far as I can tell, at least at this location, it’s general knowledge that people tip.

The only annoying parts are the rushes we get when there are only two cooks in the kitchen cooking for 30 stalls. I think it depends on the people you work around that affects how you feel about the job.

Awesome “Aireborne” clips. I thought that was a cool movie when I was a kid.

Come too Toronto��������

This Chick loves her orgasms������

Just quit sonic after 3 years. It was a really awful job, I was assistant manager and was there all the time. Was not appreciated at all, rude customers. Wouldn’t recommend!!!

This girl is such an airhead. She’s never been out of her house.

I want to own a Sonic franchise. I need to find someone with money to make investments. I want the Sonic to be a skate park, the carhops skate down the bank to the customers. Videos screens of skating music videos. and skating carhop competitions in a music video. The skating managers and carhops would go do skate shows to entertain customers from time to time.

Sonic did NOT fail, whoever started this “secret menu” bullshit did! How can a restaurant fail over something it has never claimed to have? Accept it, you were bullshited and you fell for it!

Wait a minute I used make those onions rings and I don’t remember anything about vanilla flavor on it ��

Hmm investment, no pay, shit food. How in the hell are they still open.

I work at Sonics and there’s not just one person dedicated to onion rings. ��

I’m all about the strawberry sprite. Tot’s and a dog and I’m sorted.

you putting fries on your sandwich reminded me when it was midnight and i put fries, lettuce, onion, and italian dressig on a sub and ate it

I work in the kitchen at sonic, no one is paid under minimum wage, at least 9.45$ in mo I make 9.75$\h because if ur good at your job u get a raise often, no one skates that’s pretty much bs. One kid uses heelys though. Worked there for 4 months, 16yr old. Also there’s no 1 employee that makes onion rings, a cook makes them in the morning the people there at the time work out who does it

Well this seems like a restaurant that has the same consideration for calories than I do, but on the other hand, buy your own skates and pay for their keep up for minimal wage?

I hate how carhops linger about, waiting on a tip when you paid with a card and then be shitty because you didn’t tip. Go wait tables if you want to make tips.

I love that your tongue was blue before you tried the slushy for the first reaction. Beautifully done. I wouldn’t be able to keep away either.

Loryn’s earrings are so cute!������ Also love her gold eyeshadow!������✨

I thought Jolly ranchers are not vegan special the red ones because the red #40?

Never eating here again unless they bring back those funny guys that used to be in the tv commercials

As a former employee of this chain of 3 years where I’m at most of the stuff (such as ham) we don’t have. Due to work conditions (AC ALWAYS ON EVEN IN WINTER). How they treat costumers and employees. Over all cleaning of the store ( no matter the amount of chores they gave us) the store was always extremely nasty. Or working us off the clock (that’s illegal). No amount of money will make me want to go back to work only a single day

For some unknown reason, the Sonic on South Hamilton Rd., Groveport, Ohio, has closed. I will miss it.

I work at sonic, it’s fun but that’s because all the managers and crew members are cool and funny

The pickle slush is horrible!! That came out when i was pregnant with fawn. It was bad even for my pregnant butt

You do know Sonic didn’t create the Frito pie, right? Doesn’t seem like you do.

Wow I must not work at sonic because that sounds nothing like where I work.

Sonic ice was the only thing I could have when I had my recent stroke, before I could swallow. I’m only in my 30’s and I am still in the beginnings of my recovery. No doctor can tell me why it happened and I had several strokes, not just one, that should scare everyone,.

Extreme tots we don’t sell anymore and the pink lady isn’t a secret, it is just a promo item that isn’t on the permanent window.

We call it the purple o and it stands for purple orgasm lololol. We have pickles o’s

To (hopefully) make the negative comments down seem a little tolerable I’ll add a form of positivity. Next time get a blackberry Sprite

Grew up in Oklahoma, in high school we used to all met up a Sonic before class, smoke weed, order some breakfast burritos lol

great video. you are hilarious. just so all you vegans out there know….McDonald’s now put beef tallow in their french fries. I only know because I ate some and got sick because my body can not handle dead animals so I looked up vegan at McDonald’s and there’s only one vegan menu item and that’s Apple pie. gooooo vegan!!

Secret menus aren’t secret menus. They are just items you can make with things in their store. Usually with cheap dollar items.

Garbage man ������ Erin you are soooooo FUNNY, I love you ��❤

Definitely tip your carhop. They’re the heart of the business!

I guess this is where Sonic the hedgehog get his food from (the one in his world probably sell chilli dogs)

Shit job. My daughters first job. And her manager was my best friend. His abusive boss made him fire her because she did not get enough tips. When they do not make tips. The company has to pay the Hops minimum wage. They HATE that. The company was so abusive. My friend left not to much longer. Now all three of us are restaurant managers for and very good and much bigger chain then Sonic. We all get paid well and treated extremely good. To top it. The Sonic that my friend managed and my daughter worked at. It closed down. LOL

Oh my gah, I seriously love your videos! You crack me up! Great personality #veganized

I’m reading thru the comments and I see tons of sonic employees claiming sonic does not carry these ingredients.. first off the fried pickles I’ve had myself and they use to be on the menu back in like 2002 of course they would have pickles it’s a burger joint.. and yes they have pineapple juice I use to get pineapple slushes.. the only thing I haven’t had is Ham but I will ask some friends that work at sonic… She even stated in the video not all locations may have all the items and that sonic was first open in Oklahoma the state I’m in so maybe that’s why they have all this. I have my heart set on the pink flamingo and the hickory Burger! The bacon cheese burger toaster is basically the same it has BBQ sauce and an onion ring. I’ve also have had the extreme tots! Thank you @BabbleTop

I’ve never heard of purple Sprite or pickle os. It’s not on our menu. It’s the kind of thing that the restaurant would have to hear and decide to sell. You can customize a lot of things those

I’ve worked at Sonic for three years and nobody has EVER ordered a “Pink Lady.” For fuck’s sake, just order a cherry Sprite instead of making shit difficult on you and the carhop. There isn’t some magical secret menu lying around the store. Typically employees will only know about it if they’ve worked there long enough or ask a manager for help.

I want to try Sonic �� But there’s none where I live the closest is about an hour and a half. But I’m determined to try it.

I KNEW THAT SONIC WAS NAMED AFTER SONIC THE HEDGEHOG…people told me that Sonic Drive-in and Sonic the Hedgehog weren’t related…….but I KNEW IT

#mlk corner store my @fritopies @beta fromyouthtoadult @missingcentstm. # u.k.community @unit116

I work at a Sonics and I would have died after taking her order ������

sonic isn’t as horrible as these comments make it out to be! the sonic i work at may have some old technology (we don’t even offer order ahead) so it’s frustrating sometimes, and some of the workers can’t exactly handle the job, but we still manage. we’re sanitary and we’re caring and we ensure the happiness of the customers. yes, it’s a stressful job and us carhops make less than minimum wage, but if you’re not tipped enough to make the legal minimum wage in your state, you do get tip makeup! it’s in your paycheck. and we don’t even have to share tips. i skate and it’s a fun job if you know how to stay calm. and guess what? if you’re friendly with the customers, most of the time they’ll be friendly back.

can u do tasting vegan thai express i heard they have a few options if u ask for no eggs and their vegetarian sauce to not have fish sauce in it

At my Sonic we don’t have pineapple to make the sunrise, and the Frito pie is on our menu and it’s mich easier just to say what you want in your drink not ask for something like “Purple Sprite Attack”

Fun fact: I work in a brand new store that opened in 2017, and our portioning size chart above the fryers has pickle-o’s on it. But below it says “optional item”.

I can see why the “Dr.Pepper Orgasm” isn’t on the official menu.

I tried to order 4 of these items, they treated me like I was an idiot and they had no idea what I was talking about. I drove off defeated.

I fr love that you were judging foodies with crumbs in your hair ��

I’ve NEVER gotten hot cooked food at a Sonic. I’ve gotten hotdogs that seem like they were pulled out of a pack that had just been sitting out, put in a bun that had never been warmed or anything. Tatted toys that looked cooked but were mealy and tasteless. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried a burger but do remember it was similarly cold and “uncooked” like. Even though it looked like it. I don’t believe they actually cook food there. I do not believe they have a grill inside? They might have a few microwaves. I lived in a town with just a Sonic, McDonalds, and KFC yet I was left getting McDonals 90% of the time. Now there is Subway, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Hardy’s and a few others. Rarely do I see many people at Sonic.

Do the sandwich but tell them to add onion rings instead of onions. I did that AND BITCH IT IS SO FUCKIN GOOD.

It’s not called a freaking purple sprite it’s called a purple hippo!!!!!! I order it every time I go to sonic and it is really good and is no where on the menu. My cousin learned it off of tumblr and taught it to me! It’s not called a purple sprite!!!! Gosh I don’t know why that made me so mad.

The Sonic order ahead system is just one of the worst systems that has ever been constructed. If you ASAP a drink only order to get the 1/2 drinks, it doesn’t come up on our “to make” screen, but it does come up on out ticket screen, meaning that a manager has to force the ticket out of our system. Please circumvent this by asking for your order to be delivered 1 minute after the time that you place the order. Also please REMEMBER TO CHECK INTO THR APP WHEN YOU GET TO SONIC BY PUTTING IN WHAT STALL YOU ARE AT ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND OF OUR STALL SCREENS

There’s a Sonic where I live in Austin Texas where you can eat inside

i saw an ad for almond milk on this vid and it made me so happy!

Sounds like someone doesn’t know how to coock thinking this shit is the best

To all of you that wouldn’t eat fried foods that were fried in oils with meats or dairy… How do you get around the fact that you all likely consume sugar that was processed using bone char in the other junk you eat? To me that’s even worse. Just a thought

Only problems I have with these videos is the words I can’t read all that in one second can we get at least 5 so I’ll know to pause it ����������

I worked at sonic and it’s the worst. I worked at sonic in Arizona and my manager told me the owner was going to let go of people who didn’t make tips.! I was one of those people and it’s hard making tips when customers come through picking arguments

Ok, coming from a previous sonic manager and member of 3 years let’s talk about this video.
1. The Sonic sunrise is a Cherry Limeade with a shot of OJ, not orange juice with cherry juice.
2. Frito pie is accurate. On our menu it was an actual menu item. But to some it was a secret menu item.
3. While some stores offered ham, not all do. Including ours. I believe we had stopped selling ham many years back so maybe years ago the Grilled Ham and Cheese was popular but many stores don’t sell ham.
4. Never, ever heard of the pink flamingo in the 3 years of being there. And we don’t sell reusable cups.
5. The Purple Sprite Attack is called the Purple O. Aka the Purple Orgasm. The video got most of it right. Sprite. Cranberry juice. Powerade. Lemonade. But also has a shot of vanilla.
6. There is no Hickory burger. While true there is BBq sauce, to which we use for the Bacon Cheeseburger Toaster which has everything a regular burger has, with bacon, bbq sauce, and a large onion ring on top on Texas toast, there is no just “Hickory Burger”.
7. Pickle O’s are an actual item just varies by location. If its not on the menu, your store probably wont have it. And more than likely wont grab a handful of pickles and run it through the lengthy 3 process breading cycle we do for our onion rings per customer request. So if your store doesn’t have them, oh well I guess.
8. No. Nobody in the 2 Sonics in my town nor in any of the surrounding areas has heard of a Slap yo mama slush. Maybe it’s a location thing. Maybe an east coast, west coast thing?
9. I actually did have one customer before order a Dr Pepper Orgasm before. Its basically what’s in a purple O except dr Pepper instead of sprite. So if it weren’t for that one customer I never would have heard of that.
10. Yes extreme tots do exist. While not on the menu outside we did have a button on our menu terminal inside for Extreme tots. So good for you getting that one correct.

never had pineapple juice at Sonic just real pineapples you didn’t even do any research to make this video

If any of you will get a confused feed back if Yall do it, is because if they actually admit that they have a secret menu and do it, they can seriously get into trouble if they main business find out… and is for ANY business

i hated working at sonic lmaooo ����
the customer: “ can i get a morning sunrise?”
me: what the hell is that? ����
customer: lemonade and orange juice ��
me: why didn’t you just say that ��

Sonic’s work environment is horrible………..if you want a clean job with extremely nice people, you should work at Chik-Fil-A

I didn’t know you were from a town close to me! lol but I’m going to try some of these!

The girl on the passenger side is so annoying she complains about everything has a comment about everything she doenst tastes and doesnt wanna try new things it’s part of the whole menu…. like why are you even there…

I don’t think people in the comments understand that Sonic is a franchise.

type of vegans:

green vegan: the vegan who eats only whole food,legumes etc.

junk food vegan: the vegan who only eats fries, processed foods.

mature vegan: the vegan who eats whole foods with processed foods (one of the most common type of vegan)

fake vegans: we don’t speak of them

I live in Oklahoma where Sonic was founded and there are literally Sonic’s on every corner! I find their food to just be meh and their onion rings taste like freaking VANILLA! Yuck! Their drinks are bomb though.

Why didn’t you get a slush of some sort, and dump pickles in that? Why into dairy? Of course it would curdle. There is no dairy in the pickle slush D:
