Despite the Frankie Avalon years, Sonic is still the best fast-food chain around. Where else can you get such down-home favorites as corndogs, Hickory Burgers, Frito pies, deep-fried chili burritos, a footlong cheese coney, cheese-covered tator-tots, and the best drink ever invented...

Cherry Limeade!

When it comes to Sonic cherry limeade, you have to get the Route 44. It might seem a little daunting if you don't run with the Super Big Gulp crowd, but I promise you'll be left begging for more. They use that super-powered cherry syrup usually reserved for sno-cones and slushies (they have slushies, too—in fourteen flavors!) and that crumbly ice you can't get anywhere else. They even squeeze in a real lime. Now, that's class!

A word of warning: if you think limeade means the lime equivalent of lemonade, you're way too uptown. Sonic Cherry Limeade is limeade only in the loosest sense of the word (you know, the way Country Time is lemonade or Kool-Aid is punch).
