I always wonder whyyyyy they show some commercials in LA County. Ruby Tuesday. Dunkin' Donuts. Cici's Pizza. Sonic. Us Angelinos, sometimes we don't know any better. We see this shit on TV and the actors are believable and the food looks yummy and everything is all rainbows and flowers. Truth is, we're like idiots in a library: Clueless. It gets worse once we travel out of state and come across these 'As Seen on TV' establishments...
"SONICCCCC! Ohhhhhhh, make a U-turn and let's go!"
That's how the conversation went awry as my friends and I cruised through Vegas one hot summer night. We pulled up, parked, and looked over the menu. It was like the Land of Oz - everything looked amazing! And not because it was amazing, but because we just don't have Sonic in LA. The little carhop girls were skating around. Between the enticing menu and the roller skates we were all like ADD kids not knowing what to order or where to focus our eyes. So far, Sonic was cool!
Cool didn't last long once the food arrived. 1 word: salty! I swore I thought I was going to develop hypertension after eating here. The hot-dog was ok, nothing special. But the tater tots that we were oh so excited to get, were just littered with salt. We all thought there were just way too salty to enjoy. The cherry slushy drink was nice 'n sweet (which meant I might become diabetic also!), and overall the meal made for a decent late-night snack. Sadly, Sonic will not be on my list of places to stop in when I see them outside of LA.
(Ruby Tuesday and Cici, please don't let me down when I come to your town.)
