SONIC's $2.99 Quarter Pound Footlong Coney and gvieaway (Busy Mom Reviews)

Even though summer is on it's way out, it's never to late for SONIC's new and improved Foot Long Coney.

It's a quarter pound hot dog (maybe even enough for 2 people!) smothered in chili and cheese, and it's tasty! I just this moment realized I took the picture of mine below before I put the chili on it, but you get the idea.

You can order it any way you want it: chili, mustard, onions, cheese and more. If you're still hungry after that, SONIC has 99-cent one-topping sundaes made with Real Ice Cream after 8:00 p.m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

The Sonic Quarter Pound Footlong Coney is just $2.99 until August 29, 2010, so check it out!

Judy:

And how YUMMILICIOUS is a Sonic chili cheese dog? Beyond words!

My favorite way to eat a hot dog is in the stands at a Round Rock (Texas) Express baseball game...pulling it from the foil envelope, dressing it with relish, mustard and a couple of jalapenos, then chomping down while watching my boys bat!

My favorite way to enjoy a hot dog from Sonics is topped with chili and cheese (with a raspberry sweet tea). My daughter likes hers plain, nothing but dog.
