Can I Buy You a Drink?
In case you guys and gals didn’t know, my blog can be very random, controversial, family friendly, confrontational, special, educational, spiritual, enlightening…. well you get the picture. This morning I had another one of those random moments and it comes in the form of a question for everyone to answer. Here it goes:
“Can I Buy You a Drink?” You only have two Locations to choose from Sonic or Starbucks; go ahead and give me your drink order. I am going to select a couple of random drink order comments and send you either a Starbucks or Sonic Gift Card. Don’t forget it’s half price drink “Happy Hour” at Sonic everyday from 2:00-4:00. I am curious as to whether we have more Starbucks or Sonic orders.
Drink On!
I’ll go first and treat myself to a Sonic drink!

Large cranberry apple limeade, ez ice and extra cherry!
Large Diet VANILLA Dr. Pepper, easy ice
large diet cherry dp!
I know it’s so cliche’, but I’ll take a non-fat (not skinny – I like my sugar), no-whip, latte’. Thanks for asking.
Cindy and Anne kick sonic off to the lead…
Oops Dusty puts Starbucks right behind…
BTW- One of my first jobs was at Sonic w/ a work permit. A couple of free informational tidbits that I won’t charge anyone for. We hand battered the onion rings and the “easy button” actually says EZ. Holler
venti sweet tea, lite ice. pretty amazing!
My preferred drink… a Triple-grande mocha from Starbucks… takes me from zero to human in about 5 minutes!
Route 44 Diet Sprite, easy on the ice, please.
starbucks for sure!
organic cinnamon dolce latte with no whip, extra hot!
LG Vanilla DP…LOVE THE SONIC ICE!
I plan on putting a Sonic ice-maker in the next home I own.
We don’t have Sonic up in the Great White North, but we do have Starbucks. Grande Vanilla Creme, mmm, mmm, good.
Man, this is a tough one for me, because I have to admit I’m addicted to both… just depends on the time of day. In the mornings I’m a Starbucks guy all the way, and the rest of the day I’ll go to Sonic at varying times.
I guess since it’s roughly 9:30am, I’ll go with a Venti White Chocolate Mocha from the bux!
Skinny vanilla frappacino – or whatever its officially title is.
So is promotion part of pimping your blog?
Wow Starbucks has the lead 7-5 w/ my drink order of course!
Libby, Hmmm now that you mention it!
Starbucks Venti Pikes Blend!
Sonic Strawberry Creamslush!
Venti Pikes Place with room for Half n Half.
I worked at Sonic in college – hated onion ring duties (19 years later and I can still smell them on my hands….).
Off topic – I read an interesting article on what we should let our kids read and at what age and I thought of you . . . “sex talk” avoidance. The topic of when and what your kids read/watch/play and how parents in your blog arena make that call would be quite interesting (and a bit controversial?!?)
Peace
Route 44 cup of ice with some tea just for show. I want the ice more than the tea
Starbucks 9-7! Sonic ice has a name of its own, not crushed, not cubed, but Sonic.
Noel- I blogged about thta a couple of months ago; you can find it in the most comments section on the right. It’s called “Lets Talk About Sex!”
i’ll take a powerade slush…blue baby, only blue…
SONIC Large Vanilla DP with Extra ice, pretty please
I want what Anne Jackson’s having! Roobios tea from Africa. Real stuff, not processed like they have at Starbucks. So, wherever Anne wants to serve us. (grin)
97% of the time i order a route44 ice water with extra ice from sonic. but i also luv the java chillers or a vanilla coke or a cranilla craze {cranberry, vanilla, sprite}…
Skinny Vanilla Latte at Starbux – We don’t have Sonic in Upstate NY but for some reason we have commercials that tease us daily.
I
t’s a tie 10-10!Cranilla Craze, I thought I had heard it all!Sorry I can’t count it’s Starbucks 11-10!
Sonic Diet Sprite – love it!!
toss up!…flipped a coin 100 times…53 times or 53% came up Large Diet Coke with very light ice then 47 times/47% for the Grande Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino Blended Creme…depends on time of day but a few less calories with Sonic wins out here…
Large Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper, or after a long run I’ll take a large Cran-Vanilla Slushee
Sonic – Diet Cherry Limeaid
Route 44 vanilla dr pepper
I wish we had a Sonic in Michigan because they show commericals all the time hoping we’ll drive all the way down to Ohio for some food and shakes. Sometimes I want to do just that because their menu looks uber yummy. So in this case…
I’ll vote Sonic. A pineapple slushie sounds great!
you know i’m a starbucks girl, so it’s a grande skinny cinnamon dolce latte (with water in a short cup so madeline thinks she’s drinking coffee like mommy…) BUT since there is a sonic pretty much across the street, and the happy hour is awesome, it’s usually a vanilla diet coke. (except the past couple weeks i’ve had a weekly craving of chocolate banana shakes from there which sadly, do not fall under happy hour prices…) all that said, i’m just a thristy girl most the time
Haha, I’d love a classic coca-cola from Sonic!
Great post!
sonic – vanilla dr. pepper.
i like this post. creative.
So this is how you get people to comment on your posts: Controversy and Bribery. Well done, here’s number 36. Grande Americano with no room.
A skeleton walks into a Starbucks and says, “I’ll have a Veinte, iced, two percent, spilt shot ‘Cookies and Creme’ mint mocha. Go easy on the ice with 1 3/4 packets of Equal, no whip, topped with velvety, dry foam and a dash of cinnamon. Oh, and a mop.”
mmmmm… I do miss the Cherry Limeade!
But since there isn’t a Sonic within 500 miles of here, I’ll put in my order for an iced (90+ deg. here today) triple venti non-fat hazelnut latte.
thanks Scott
iced grande double shot, please
Bert Boan, “So this is how you get people to comment on your posts: Controversy and Bribery. Well done”
See, I knew there was something about you I instinctively liked. (grin)
sonic size Vanilla Dr. Pepper
Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper. Ever since moving from Edmond to Orange County I have really missed Sonic. The closest one to me now is about 40 minutes away. I make the drive every once in a while, but I miss one being 3 minutes from me
Definitely Starbucks. Not because it’s my favorite drink place but since I live in Vermont there are no Sonic eateries anywhere in sight!
OK- Sonic Has the Lead 21 to 16; I’m impressed the goofy drive-thru commercials must really work!
I did a post on this today go check it out
Naw..it’s not the commercials…it’s the weather! Cold drinks! I’m easy. Diet cherry coke–lite ice.
I agree with Robin, it’s the hot weather/cold drinks! Give me a Diet vanilla Coke, please.
Give me a Strawberry or Cherry Limeade anyday!
Diet Cherry Vanilla DP from sonic! mmm yum, I am not a big starbucks fan.
Roger- I checked out your post!
Robin and Rachel- You are right!
Lisa and Joana- Thanks for joning in in the conversation.
All about the Sonic! I don’t know how people survive without them. We have one right down the street. I’d treat myself to an old fashioned Limeade–no cherry, just lime.
Just figured it needed one more comment to make this post #1
Im torn. I love sonic for their cheap cold drinks but I LOVE starbucks. So, I must go with the starbucks for taste and creativity. I like the decaf grande iced mocha with whip. For sonic I have to go with an ice tea or coke. Well, to be really honest I spend more time at sonic than starbucks, I cant afford starbucks.
For me, I would like to drink anything that I enjoy without any worries of body fat, cholesterol, and other bad things inside my body. Just as long as you adapt a healthy lifestyle. I can drink any coffee, tea or soda I want as long as it’s in moderate level. Anything good that is in excess can be bad, right? I eat pork every other day and I supplement it with bitter herbs. I drink soda pops almost everyday but I make sure that I exercise it out or drink more water compared to it! that’s healthy living without any food deprivation!
For now, I would like to have a Triple grande moccha! YUM!
So we have NO Sonics around here! for shame, I know. Closest one I know of is 1 hour away. If those are the only 2 choices, I’d have to go with Starbucks, and at the moment, I’m craving something cold, like an iced latte, or a lemonade-y fruit-tea type stuff.
(btw, Peet’s Coffee & Teas are the bomb!)
I love the Venti Sweetened Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks
Hey! I have never been to a Sonic. I live in the Pacific Northwest.. maybe I haven’t been looking around enough. But I like your blog. Love your reminder to think first before you ‘publish’.
So…if someone bought me a drink from either Starbucks or Sonic, I would love to be surprised by anything from Sonic. All those different flavors sound so lush! And if Starbucks, it would be a tall hazlenut mocha with all the fat and whip cream.
