So a little over a week ago the first Sonic in Michigan opened. The lines were anywhere from 2-4 hours long. Seriously? I would not even wait at my favorite sit down restuarant for 2 hours to get fed. Seeing as I have never eaten there, is Sonic really worth a 2 hour wait?

I do want to try it out but I think I will wait about 6 months to do so.

It was the same thing when Ikea opened. Lines were outrageous. I just waited about a year and then it was not so bad lol.

Sonic is definitely not worth the wait. I can't stand the food there. My hubby swears by them when we are back in TN but *gags* to greasy, even pre banding they were to gross to consider.

Although I do love a good grilled cheese, and they have it on the menu. But my biggest problem with it was it tasted like greasy cheese for the most part. I have never been able to stomach greasy foods.

Nope not worth the wait for this many useless calories. I really don't think there is anything there that is worth my time.

i used to love their slushes...can't have the calories/sugar anymore, but maybe once in a blue moon. their ice cream is average at best and i never had their food, but their grape slush - oh yeah!

They're alright, not worth any wait time though. That's weird, maybe it'll die down once the novelty wears off. I like their ocean Water drink, the rest of their stuff is no different from other fast food places.

That reminds me when the first and only Krispy Kreme opened up here and then the big "Atkins Diet" came back around again from the 70s and then the Krispy Kreme died it's natural death and is no more here. There were lines causing all sorts of traffic jams at the time. I did finally get down there, it was a few years ago and they were good but not worth the hassle and not a choice anymore anyway. The one sweet I can't tolerate! yahoo!!:angry:

The Sonic blackberry tea is awesome. It has enough sugar that it might put ya in a diabetic coma, but still.......

I'm so glad we don't have Sonic in NY!

I see commercials all the time for yummy ice cream things.

Sonic frequently appears on list(s) of the highest calorie and fat, fast food items. (Specially the ice cream things I :thumbup: over)

I wouldn't wait for two hours for Sonic, or any fast food restaurant for that matter. Like others said, I find their food to be pretty greasy. But, alas, I must admit I do love their Peanut Butter fudge sundaes!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
