Sonic Fans are Begging for This Incredibly Popular Item to Make Its Return: ‘So Gooey and Delicuous'
Sonic Fans are Begging for This Incredibly Popular Item to Make Its Return: 'So Gooey and Delicuous' originally appeared on Parade.
After a long winter, we've all been looking forward to summer. And while the recent bout of extreme heat is quickly reminding us of everything we don't love about the season, it hasn't stopped us from chasing the little joys that made us fall for summer in the first place.
When it comes to quintessential summer activities that don't involve lounging by a body of water, few things feel more fitting than a local state or county fair. With its whirlwind rides, impossible games and deep-fried delights, the fair is a magical mix of nostalgia, mystery and iconic summer flavors.

In honor of fast food's long love affair with state fair desserts, our favorite food and beverage reporter @snackbetch rounded up the best carnival-inspired creations from the past 2 to 10 years. Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's our shared craving for something deep-fried and sweet—but one thing's clear: fans couldn't stop talking about one nostalgic treat in particular—Sonic's beloved Fried Oreos.
'With all the fairs going on right now, it would be so cool if the fast food chains brought these back as a summer fair/carnival dessert menu,' @snackbetch wrote in their post. 'Which one do you want to see return?'
'The Sonic Fried Oreos look good,' one fan wrote—only to be met further down the thread by another who declared, 'The Sonic Fried Oreos were on point!!'Sonic's Fried Oreos were one of those fast food stunts that actually worked. A state fair classic, fried Oreos are warm, melty and wrapped in a golden, donut-like shell. Sonic's came with a little cup of powdered sugar for dipping and were only around for a limited-time in 2019.
Also on the list—and mentioned almost as much as Sonic's Fried Oreos—was Sonic's Fried Cookie Dough: little pockets of gooey chocolate-chip goodness, fried crispy and served with a mini cup of vanilla soft-serve for dipping.
'Fried cookie dough,' one viewer wrote. 'Honestly, really anything cookie dough,' they laughed.
Honorable mentions include KFC and Burger King's Funnel Cake Fries, Long John Silver's Deep Fried Twinkies, McDonald's Donut Sticks and Carl's Jr. & Hardee's Froot Loops Mini Donuts.
