I love corndogs! Unfortunately, my wife had a really bad experience with corndogs when she was young, so I don’t get them hardly ever. ---

Sonic is far from me so thats too long of a drive, but I’m glad there are still some good fast food deals. ---

Oh my. It’s a hotdog on a stick dipped in a cornbread batter and deep fried. Great with mustard. ---

Never heard of them or tried one (obviously!) Sounds profoundly disgusting 😛 ---

In Aotearoa New Zealand we called those “hot dogs,” and the ones America calls hot dogs we called “American hot dogs.” Though we didn’t use cornbread batter, it was something else, possibly beer batter. Nor did we use wieners, we used saveloys. Australia, where I live now, doesn’t seem to do them at all. ---

Some US residents seem to be enamored with corn dogs. There were these two people named Robby Novak and Brad M who wrote a book about celebrating friendship. One tip was to microwave a corn dog, wrap it in a delivery package and write a note to your friend saying “You are a great friend and deserve a delicious corn dog today!” As for Sonic items, I occasionally walk past their drive-thru at work but have never tried their menu. Their promoted drinks have some weird names like ‘Ocean Water.’ Where I live, ocean water wouldn’t be something one enjoys drinking, except accidentally while bodyboarding or surfing. ---

Ocean water at Sonic is a sickly sweet blue drink. It’s not good. ---

I would confuse it with a Powerade and then realize my mistake.
