Sonic Drive-In is bringing back some summer favorites on popular demand.
The fast-food chain says it "is dialing up the summer vibes with the return of two legendary slushes" - Watermelon and Lemonberry Slushes - "and the debut of an all-new, craveable snack," Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni Bites.
Sonic's popular Watermelon and Lemonberry slushes are returning for a limited time after they were frequently requested by customers on social media. Some fans even started a Change.org petition urging the company to bring back the Watermelon Slush. The petition had 2,842 verified signatures as of May 20.
What Sonic slushes are returning and when?
The Watermelon Slush, last seen on Sonic menu in 2019, "is a burst of juicy, sweet watermelon flavor blended into a classic sonic slush," while the Lemonberry Slush "swirled with real strawberries and a squeeze of real lemon" is back on the menu after 2020.
The fan favorites will be available on Sonic's menu starting May 27, Sonic said. Though availability and prices vary by location, the Watermelon Slush starts at $2.79 for a medium and the Lemonberry Slush starts at $3.29 for a medium before taxes.
