As seen in a real commercial, _not_ SNL or Mad: Sonic is selling Deep-fried macaroni and cheese nuggets. :eek: ---

An acquaintance of mine who works at Sonic told me that one customer placed an order for the deep-fried mac & cheese, but asked in a worried tone of voice “Do those have any carbs?” ---

[QUOTE=Czarcasm] As seen in a real commercial, _not_ SNL or Mad: Sonic is selling Deep-fried macaroni and cheese nuggets. :eek: [/QUOTE] I saw those during a football game today. I have to tell you, they look quite tasty. i’m sure glad there isn’t a Sonic in Canada or eating healthy would become much tougher for me. Their commercials are quite appetizing (that may very well be because I’ve never had their food). ---

[QUOTE=Terrifel] “…and a Diet Coke, please.” [/QUOTE] You know what? I order a diet coke every time I get fast food, but not because I think it somehow miraculously reverses the effects of my chicken nuggets and Double Quarter Pounder, but because I happen to like Diet Coke (it seems to complement the flavor of McD’s french fries, oddly enough). That said, this thread is making me crave the mac and cheese they serve in the chow hall on base here. It’s BAD when something makes you crave chow hall food :eek: ---

My daughter ordered them the last time we were at Sonic. I tried them and they taste exactly like school cafeteria mac and cheese with a crunchy coating. Pretty good actually. Logically, it’s not that different than fried cheese sticks. ---

Fried Mac & Cheese are a staple of the appetiser platter at Toby Keith’s I Love The Bar And Grill in Las Vegas. I’m glad there aren’t any Sonic’s anywhere near here. Having regular access to such things would be…bad. ---

_snort_ They ain’t got nuthin’ on [Hardees](http://www.hardees.com/menu/). I remember they were talking on KDKA a few weeks ago on the morning news, about a new breakfast item: -An omelet, with ham, bacon, sausage and sausage gravy, all wrapped up in a tortilla. Something like 900 calories. Blech. It MIGHT be the Country Breakfast Burito, except it’s missing bacon and ham. Either way, most of their stuff sounds absolutely revolting. One bite would have me stuffed. ---

Some of this stuff is bizarre. I tell you, with the food that’s out there nowadays, I’m waiting for the candy bar Homer Simpson once saw an ad for, which depicted “pure milk chocolate…a layer of farm-fresh honey…four kinds of sugar…[dipped] in rich creamery butter.” Either that or [SBLOUNSKCHED!](http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail149.html) (Actually, that sounds pretty good- except for the pepperoni. Y2K turned out all right!) ---
