In case you guys and gals didn’t know, my blog can be very random, controversial, family friendly, confrontational, special, educational, spiritual, enlightening…. well you get the picture. This morning I had another one of those random moments and it comes in the form of a question for everyone to answer. Here it goes:
“Can I Buy You a Drink?” You only have two Locations to choose from Sonic or Starbucks; go ahead and give me your drink order. I am going to select a couple of random drink order comments and send you either a Starbucks or Sonic Gift Card. Don’t forget it’s half price drink “Happy Hour” at Sonic everyday from 2:00-4:00. I am curious as to whether we have more Starbucks or Sonic orders.
Drink On!
I’ll go first and treat myself to a Sonic drink!
Thanks for reading, please take a moment and subscribe to my RSS feed. #FistBump to ya'

I know it’s so cliche’, but I’ll take a non-fat (not skinny – I like my sugar), no-whip, latte’. Thanks for asking.
May 16th, 2008 @8:41 am
Cindy and Anne kick sonic off to the lead…
Oops Dusty puts Starbucks right behind…
BTW- One of my first jobs was at Sonic w/ a work permit. A couple of free informational tidbits that I won’t charge anyone for. We hand battered the onion rings and the “easy button” actually says EZ. Holler
May 16th, 2008 @8:42 am
venti sweet tea, lite ice. pretty amazing!
May 16th, 2008 @8:44 am
My preferred drink… a Triple-grande mocha from Starbucks… takes me from zero to human in about 5 minutes!
May 16th, 2008 @9:11 am
Route 44 Diet Sprite, easy on the ice, please.
May 16th, 2008 @9:26 am
starbucks for sure!
organic cinnamon dolce latte with no whip, extra hot!
May 16th, 2008 @9:31 am
LG Vanilla DP…LOVE THE SONIC ICE!
I plan on putting a Sonic ice-maker in the next home I own.
May 16th, 2008 @9:33 am
We don’t have Sonic up in the Great White North, but we do have Starbucks. Grande Vanilla Creme, mmm, mmm, good.
May 16th, 2008 @9:36 am
Man, this is a tough one for me, because I have to admit I’m addicted to both… just depends on the time of day. In the mornings I’m a Starbucks guy all the way, and the rest of the day I’ll go to Sonic at varying times.
I guess since it’s roughly 9:30am, I’ll go with a Venti White Chocolate Mocha from the bux!
May 16th, 2008 @9:53 am
Skinny vanilla frappacino – or whatever its officially title is.
So is promotion part of pimping your blog?
May 16th, 2008 @9:59 am
Wow Starbucks has the lead 7-5 w/ my drink order of course!
Libby, Hmmm now that you mention it!
May 16th, 2008 @10:03 am
Starbucks Venti Pikes Blend!
May 16th, 2008 @10:06 am
Sonic Strawberry Creamslush!
May 16th, 2008 @10:10 am
Venti Pikes Place with room for Half n Half.
I worked at Sonic in college – hated onion ring duties (19 years later and I can still smell them on my hands….).
Off topic – I read an interesting article on what we should let our kids read and at what age and I thought of you . . . “sex talk” avoidance. The topic of when and what your kids read/watch/play and how parents in your blog arena make that call would be quite interesting (and a bit controversial?!?)
Peace
May 16th, 2008 @10:15 am
Route 44 cup of ice with some tea just for show. I want the ice more than the tea
May 16th, 2008 @10:28 am
Starbucks 9-7! Sonic ice has a name of its own, not crushed, not cubed, but Sonic.
Noel- I blogged about thta a couple of months ago; you can find it in the most comments section on the right. It’s called “Lets Talk About Sex!”
May 16th, 2008 @10:41 am
i’ll take a powerade slush…blue baby, only blue…
May 16th, 2008 @10:44 am
SONIC Large Vanilla DP with Extra ice, pretty please
May 16th, 2008 @11:11 am
I want what Anne Jackson’s having! Roobios tea from Africa. Real stuff, not processed like they have at Starbucks. So, wherever Anne wants to serve us. (grin)
May 16th, 2008 @11:12 am
97% of the time i order a route44 ice water with extra ice from sonic. but i also luv the java chillers or a vanilla coke or a cranilla craze {cranberry, vanilla, sprite}…
May 16th, 2008 @11:22 am
Skinny Vanilla Latte at Starbux – We don’t have Sonic in Upstate NY but for some reason we have commercials that tease us daily.
May 16th, 2008 @11:37 am
I
t’s a tie 10-10!Cranilla Craze, I thought I had heard it all!Sorry I can’t count it’s Starbucks 11-10!
May 16th, 2008 @11:54 am
Sonic Diet Sprite – love it!!
May 16th, 2008 @12:29 pm
toss up!…flipped a coin 100 times…53 times or 53% came up Large Diet Coke with very light ice then 47 times/47% for the Grande Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino Blended Creme…depends on time of day but a few less calories with Sonic wins out here…
May 16th, 2008 @2:41 pm
Large Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper, or after a long run I’ll take a large Cran-Vanilla Slushee
May 16th, 2008 @3:16 pm
Sonic – Diet Cherry Limeaid
May 16th, 2008 @4:06 pm
Route 44 vanilla dr pepper
May 16th, 2008 @4:33 pm
I wish we had a Sonic in Michigan because they show commericals all the time hoping we’ll drive all the way down to Ohio for some food and shakes. Sometimes I want to do just that because their menu looks uber yummy. So in this case…
I’ll vote Sonic. A pineapple slushie sounds great!
May 16th, 2008 @5:05 pm
you know i’m a starbucks girl, so it’s a grande skinny cinnamon dolce latte (with water in a short cup so madeline thinks she’s drinking coffee like mommy…) BUT since there is a sonic pretty much across the street, and the happy hour is awesome, it’s usually a vanilla diet coke. (except the past couple weeks i’ve had a weekly craving of chocolate banana shakes from there which sadly, do not fall under happy hour prices…) all that said, i’m just a thristy girl most the time
May 16th, 2008 @6:57 pm
Haha, I’d love a classic coca-cola from Sonic!
Great post!
May 16th, 2008 @10:12 pm
sonic – vanilla dr. pepper.
i like this post. creative.
May 16th, 2008 @11:28 pm
So this is how you get people to comment on your posts: Controversy and Bribery. Well done, here’s number 36. Grande Americano with no room.
A skeleton walks into a Starbucks and says, “I’ll have a Veinte, iced, two percent, spilt shot ‘Cookies and Creme’ mint mocha. Go easy on the ice with 1 3/4 packets of Equal, no whip, topped with velvety, dry foam and a dash of cinnamon. Oh, and a mop.”
May 16th, 2008 @11:57 pm
mmmmm… I do miss the Cherry Limeade!
But since there isn’t a Sonic within 500 miles of here, I’ll put in my order for an iced (90+ deg. here today) triple venti non-fat hazelnut latte.
thanks Scott
May 17th, 2008 @1:17 am
iced grande double shot, please
May 17th, 2008 @7:59 am
Bert Boan, “So this is how you get people to comment on your posts: Controversy and Bribery. Well done”
See, I knew there was something about you I instinctively liked. (grin)
May 17th, 2008 @11:43 am
sonic size Vanilla Dr. Pepper
May 17th, 2008 @1:40 pm
Cherry-Vanilla Dr. Pepper. Ever since moving from Edmond to Orange County I have really missed Sonic. The closest one to me now is about 40 minutes away. I make the drive every once in a while, but I miss one being 3 minutes from me
May 19th, 2008 @6:57 am
Definitely Starbucks. Not because it’s my favorite drink place but since I live in Vermont there are no Sonic eateries anywhere in sight!
May 19th, 2008 @7:05 am
OK- Sonic Has the Lead 21 to 16; I’m impressed the goofy drive-thru commercials must really work!
May 19th, 2008 @9:20 am
I did a post on this today go check it out
May 19th, 2008 @11:18 am
Naw..it’s not the commercials…it’s the weather! Cold drinks! I’m easy. Diet cherry coke–lite ice.
May 19th, 2008 @1:06 pm
I agree with Robin, it’s the hot weather/cold drinks! Give me a Diet vanilla Coke, please.
May 19th, 2008 @4:36 pm
Give me a Strawberry or Cherry Limeade anyday!
May 19th, 2008 @10:02 pm
Diet Cherry Vanilla DP from sonic! mmm yum, I am not a big starbucks fan.
May 19th, 2008 @10:39 pm
Roger- I checked out your post!
Robin and Rachel- You are right!
Lisa and Joana- Thanks for joning in in the conversation.
May 20th, 2008 @12:08 pm
All about the Sonic! I don’t know how people survive without them. We have one right down the street. I’d treat myself to an old fashioned Limeade–no cherry, just lime.
May 20th, 2008 @9:39 pm
Just figured it needed one more comment to make this post #1
May 21st, 2008 @11:50 pm
Im torn. I love sonic for their cheap cold drinks but I LOVE starbucks. So, I must go with the starbucks for taste and creativity. I like the decaf grande iced mocha with whip. For sonic I have to go with an ice tea or coke. Well, to be really honest I spend more time at sonic than starbucks, I cant afford starbucks.
May 26th, 2008 @11:01 pm
For me, I would like to drink anything that I enjoy without any worries of body fat, cholesterol, and other bad things inside my body. Just as long as you adapt a healthy lifestyle. I can drink any coffee, tea or soda I want as long as it’s in moderate level. Anything good that is in excess can be bad, right? I eat pork every other day and I supplement it with bitter herbs. I drink soda pops almost everyday but I make sure that I exercise it out or drink more water compared to it! that’s healthy living without any food deprivation!
For now, I would like to have a Triple grande moccha! YUM!
June 4th, 2009 @8:57 pm
So we have NO Sonics around here! for shame, I know. Closest one I know of is 1 hour away. If those are the only 2 choices, I’d have to go with Starbucks, and at the moment, I’m craving something cold, like an iced latte, or a lemonade-y fruit-tea type stuff.
(btw, Peet’s Coffee & Teas are the bomb!)
August 28th, 2009 @8:54 pm
I love the Venti Sweetened Passion Tea Lemonade from Starbucks
January 11th, 2010 @3:27 am
Hey! I have never been to a Sonic. I live in the Pacific Northwest.. maybe I haven’t been looking around enough. But I like your blog. Love your reminder to think first before you ‘publish’.
So…if someone bought me a drink from either Starbucks or Sonic, I would love to be surprised by anything from Sonic. All those different flavors sound so lush! And if Starbucks, it would be a tall hazlenut mocha with all the fat and whip cream.
