SONIC SLUSH



Fridays have become Slush Day for me.  Three Fridays ago I started stopping at Sonic on my way to work and getting a large slush.  It's my way of saying to myself, "You made it through another week of work -- here's your treat."  (Especially this past week which has been the week from hell!)

I am trying to go through all the flavors they sell (except the ones that I already know I don't like).  I like doing this so much that I have even put a little picture on the side bar of this blog telling the flavor I had this week.

My favorite is lemon.  I think it always will be.  Last week I tried orange.  That was really good too.  In fact I had a couple of them last week.  Yesterday I tried watermelon.  While it was good, it isn't my favorite.  I would get it again, but not too often, I think.  I am looking forward to trying strawberry and cranberry.  Ooh!  A cranberry slush for Thanksgiving?

A few years ago I didn't even know what Sonic was.  We didn't have any up here in Pennsylvania.  When we first got together Joe told me about them in Tennessee.  His son, D.J., worked in one while he was in high school.  He tried to explain it to me.  Then one opened a few blocks from our house.  Once I went there, I was hooked.

What is your favorite flavor of slush?  Today is a gray, rainy day.  A slush might be just the thing to brighten it up.

  1. Brain Freeze !!! Kathy, The k-mart stores used to sell coke slushies...I loved those. I have never had a sonic slush. Root beer and orange sound good. I was talking about you to my husband....about how rude and nasty the kids (teens) in the library are. We agree you should have the right to toss their butts out. In the mean time someone needs to do a local story on the disruptions they cause. It good help you workers and it in the long run, it could help the kids being disruptive, to learn. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    1. It's not all bad. Many of the kids are good and there to learn. You only hear about the bad ones. I guess I should spotlight some of the good kids sometimes.

  2. The watermelon sounds good! Maybe I'll stop by Sonic today and get one.

  3. We don't have a Sonic around here but if I were to choose, it would be the Lemon, also.
    It would remind me of summer in a drink. Watermelon would be another favorite.
    Have a great weekend, my friend!

  5. A Sonic was to open on Staten Island but never did.......there are some in New Jersey. I stopped at one to get the pretzel dog. It was so-so. Never had the slushies, I think too much sugar for me.

  6. I haven't tried all the flavors but had the lemon. Super cool! AND they last quite awhile. Let me
    know about the strawberry & cranberry. I love both flavors but sometimes the strawberry can be a bit
    over-sweet.
    gotta go get a slushie.

    1. I get a large slush on the way to work and I finish it up at dinner time. I think that's a good deal. It's my all-day treat.

  7. We don't have a sonic nearby us. We had one a few towns over and it stayed open a few months but the owner got into some tax trouble and had to close it down. Can you believe I've never had a Sonic Slush?
