Those Sonic burgers make you sick !

Had not enjoyed a nice Sonic double cheese burger in a while so picked up one and a single with one order of fries for me and the wife.
It's when I heard what the cost was over the speaker that got my stomach up in a knot! It was a 95 degree day and when I pulled up to the window to pick it up the girl looked ready to pass out from the heat. I handed my 20 bill over and got the two "golden" burgers plus a buck back and ask her how much they pay nowdays. She said 15 bucks an hour in this hot place.
Well the burger was good and didn't have to heat up the house cooking something but still shaking my head on why that bus to 1970 is taking so long to get here.

You are tougher than me I cant even choke one of those down. They are terrible

I'm going to have to agree with Al on this one.

Never had one. Wendy's Heart Attack Special "Baconater" is the one my Grandson turned me on to.
I gotta stay away from them.

Ouch, doesn't seem that long ago that I could get 2 burgers, fries and a drink for $3.

Virginia is not even that bad, but Minimum Wage and Inflation has hit us.

I worked at a A&W/KFC in the early 70's and I think our most expensive burger was around $1. Drinks were like 10¢ and 25¢, owner would tell the carhops that unless it was a to go order all drinks were served in a mug as a paper cup cost him more than the pop. On a average order a quarter was considered a good tip, on a busy shift a carhop might make $5 in tips. Made minimum wage which was around $1.40, always thought it was unfair that being a cook I didn't get tips.

In the '60's we'd often go to Seattle to visit my brother and we'd go to Dick's for 19¢ burgers.

I remember buying a Big Mac Fry and Coke for 99cents. The AD splash at the time: 'get a burger, fry and drink for under $1'

Haven't been to Dairy Queen for 20 years but I had an urge for a brazier burger and a shake. Got a double as they are a bit small with fries and a large shake for $11. Was alright but not quite a good as I remembered, but what is.

Love a DQ Blizzard, used to get them all the time but now very, very seldom. My favorite, a medium Heath Blizzard has 860 calories, 37 grams of fat and 119 grams of carbs. Their Oreo Brookie blizzard sounds great but a medium has 1210 calories, 56 grams fat and 162 grams carbs. Add a burger and fries and you've got a day's worth of not very healthy calories in one meal.

I still eat hamburgers too often but no shakes or ice cream.

I miss the old days when I could eat whatever I wanted and as much as I wanted and stayed at around 150 lbs.

one of our daughters loves Sonic .... I believe I tried one many moons ago in Texas .... those prices seem to be in line with other national burger chains in our area
