So I’m whatcthing a Sonic commercial. In it they claim that a Sonic card makes the perfect Valentine’s gift.
I’m thinking this can’t possibly be true.
So how about it ladies? Would a Sonic card rock your world?
Isn’t Sonic that weird hedgehog thing?
Then no.
Does it come with diamonds?
The last time I ate anything from Sonic (about 4 tater tots) I threw up the next morning. It was obviously the tater tots (gross… I know).
No thanks.
Oh, the restaurant. :smack:
Stil no.
It does seem convenient. You could take love to Sonic for Valentine’s Dinner. As you sit there in the car, you could arrange for one of the parking lot waitresses come over with the card, sneak over to your hun’s window, and suddenly surprise her. I wouldn’t be surprised if the two of you did it right there.
Oh, yeah, Shagnasty, I know I couldn’t resist a man who did that. Better even still if he works for Sonic, so I know he got a discount on that baby.
I would like it. I’m addicted to their diet cherry limeade.
Ha! I probably would. I had never been to a Sonic (they don’t have them in this area), and I was fascinated by it the first time I visited Mr. Del’s hometown. I insisted we stop several times because it was such a novel experience.
So I would like it, but the crux of the issue is the nostalgia value of something fun we did together when we were first dating. It wouldn’t rock my world, but it would probably get an “Awwww.” I wouldn’t want a gift card from any random fast food place.
No sir, no it would not. I don’t care for fast food.
But if you’d like to buy me a rose, my heart would be all a-flutter.
Nope.
I can’t think of any gift card that would do happy things for me. I get a Borders card every so often but it’s not presented as a gift and I do promptly go and buy a book, but a fastfood card does not say “You’re special” to me. Neither does it say “Happy Valentine’s Day”. Neither does the Borders card, but at least I get a book and I like books. I like Diet Cherry LimeAide, too, but I like books even more.
Nope, I would not. There are no Sonic restaurants within 150 miles of where I am. So unless the Sonic card came with an all expenses paid trip to a Sonic, then it would definitely be a loser.
If our First Date had been to Sonic, then yes, it would be a sweet Valentine’s gift. Not because I particularly like Sonic (I think it’s OK as far as fast food goes, and I do love their slushes), but because it would be a reminder of the First Date.
If Sonic doesn’t have a sentimental value for the woman or man in question, s/he is probably likely to think “My SO has no clue what to get me. Again.”
Sure. Can’t see why not*. It might be a nice change from all the jewellery, teddy bears and chocolate. 
If it’s from my beloved, I’m happy. I’d take a rock with a face painted on it. Or just a pretty rock with no face on it. From the dooryard.

Any time an ad comes on that says “This would be perfect for…” or “Have you always wanted to…” or “I know you want…”, my husband always vehemently protests, scowls at the television and yells, “NO! I don’t! NO! I don’t want that! I’m not like that! That’s not for me!” I always tell him, gently, “Honey. They were talking to* me*.” So the Sonic card must be the perfect gift for me.

One of my Christmas presents from Mr. Rilch was a McDonald’s gift card.
For Valentine’s Day, we’re planning to get Triple Chocolate Utopias from Dairy Queen, and pizzas from Dominos.
I’m low-maintenance.
(And yes, I said in another thread that I’m dieting. I’m allowing myself an indulgence for V-day.)
If it came with an all expenses paid trip to the Sonic of my choice with a week or two at a nice resort thrown in.
Otherwise, I heard that the nearest Sonic is somewhere in Idaho, so I wouldn’t be all that excited about getting one of their cards.
I am working on losing weight and so far I’m down 54 pounds. To me a Sonic gift card would say, “Honey, I liked you better fat.”
I too thought you meant Sonic the Hedgehog! If that was the case then the answer would be yes, I WOULD like a Sonic card!
Sonic the restaurant? Not so much. For one thing, my husband isn’t that clueless - I only eat fast food when it’s the only option, and even then I usually pick something like Subway. I don’t think I’ve ever actually eaten at Sonic.
My husband might like a gift card to Chik-Fil-A though! Hmmm…that’s actually not a bad idea.
Sonic? Is that a new spelling for “diamond”?
