Is this the End of those 2 'Sonic' Guys and Their Commercials . . ?

[BillyL]

The Sonic hamburger restaurant chain just sold for $2.3 billion to Inspire Brands, the owner of Arby's & Buffalo Wild Wings . . could their TV commercial careers be coming to an end . . ?

I hope this means the end. Those commercials are so annoying.

They were some very silly commercials were they not . . ?

I thought they already switched over to having two women do the commercials.

Figured it was only a matter of time on that. Those two don't exactly scream diversity like I assume most companies would like to portray in today's world.

Really? I thought they were gay (NTTAWWT)....

But you're right, they need to have a mixed race couple (NTTAWWT either), which seems to be the current go-to move by ad makers.

I loved those commercials early on. They were funny. But they rode that campaign too long. It got tired. The writing got weak and they became unfunny.

On another note, raise your hand if you've eaten at a Sonic in the last 10 years?

I have . . my son loves the burgers for some reason, we ate there on 12/29/17 . . . it was okay, nothing but just regular old burgers & fries IMHO. But, since we were on a 'bucket list' venture to see a Heels' BBall game, and it was his treat to his old man, how could I have possibly said 'no' to him . . ?

I will treasure that weekend's memory to my grave . . which at my age, may very well, not be that far off.

Average burger, average fries . . .

You gotta go with the tots. And a milkshake. Then get the burger from five guys

Or better yet, get the milkshake from cook-out.

Or better yet, get the milkshake from cook-out.

And the burger from about 20 different other places.

Caramel fudge with bacon. Good call

I loved those commercials. They did get stale towards the end but I still generally liked them.

I have eaten at a Sonic a few times over the last few years. Not great but their burgers and fries are better than 5 Guys.

I do now and then. Not many other fast-food places have tots, for starters. They have decent breakfast burritos and sandwiches. But what keeps me coming back is the foot long chili cheese coney with onions, ketchup, and mustard.

I'm not even a huge fan of 5 guys, but this is just wrong. Sonic sucks (at least for burgers and fries - I can attest to the breakfast burritos and chili cheese dogs that RH mentioned)

Only when I'm in Wilmington. Amazes me they still haven't built one in Durham.
