I work hard to find things that I like! I say this because I think "they" (the same "they" that are always against you, kind of like the "others" on Lost), are watching me, waiting me to finally find something that I like only to yank it out from under me. This has been evidenced many times! On The Border taking Miguel's #10 combo off the menu, Wendy's taking away the 99 cent double stack, someone taking the cents symbol off the keyboard, etc.
So, now Sonic is joining the bandwagon. First of all, the new look of Sonic is simply gaudy. People should learn from Oral Roberts University that the future/spacey motif does not work architecturally. So, while the old look didn't do a lot for me, the new grey/green look does less.
However, that is the least of my concerns. I am more bothered by the addition of the drive-thru window. It is Sonic America's Drive in, not drive thru! Now, if it was the addition of a drive-thru window, no problem. However, what they have done is they have taken away the cool side of the drive-in. Everyone knows (unless you are a mother in a minivan) that you do not park on the right side of the restaurant! You must drive around and park on the cool side! This allows you to face both the front door of the franchise and the street! It is the "power seat" of Sonic. Now that the drive-thru is there I am lost.
But I still want my large Dr. Pepper easy ice!

Please don't knock ORU, some of us here have a deep love/admiration for that great university. After all they did bring us the great Ned Flanders, and a certain Kathy(I think you know who I mean). So if 2 great things have come from there who are we to mock the style. Jesus doesn't have a fasion police so who are we to judge.
Sonic ticked me off when they replaced the two guys in the commercials with the married couple. The couple is simply not funny! The two guys - hilarious! It's good to see them back...
Vanilla Dr. Pepper - YUM!
They don't have Sonics in the Washington DC area. The closest one to me is approximately 85 miles (which in DC miles is about 2 and a half hours on a good day) away. I have made the trip, trust me on that one.
So, I think at this point, although I would mourn for the cool side, since it obviously has been killed by a drive thru, I would welcome any Sonic closer than 85 miles away!
