In a First, Sweet Potato Tots Come to Sonic

Sweet potatoes are making a grand entrance on the SONIC menu. SONIC is expanding its tots offering by introducing new Sweet Potato Tots to its menu for a limited time.

According to data from the USDA Economic Research Service, sweet potato U.S. per capita consumption has been on the rise, even as white potato consumption has slowed. As a result, it looks like the unsung spud is finally getting its due and feeling the love beyond the Thanksgiving dinner table.

“Everyone is talking about sweet potatoes as a trend but few are putting unique offerings on their menus,” says Clas Petersson, vice president of product and packaging. “SONIC is excited to offer its guests such a distinctive food flavor. If you love SONIC’s tots and sweet potatoes, this is a match made in heaven.”

SONIC’s Sweet Potato Tots are a perfect innovation, combining sweet and salty flavors in the tot form loved by SONIC guests. The new tots can be enjoyed as a snack or upgrade to any of SONIC’s combo meals.

Poppable Possibilities

The poppable possibilities of SONIC’s Jumbo Popcorn Chicken are endless. Have a late night craving or want to share this snack with friends? This bite-sized menu item is hard to resist and delicious as a snack or a meal.

SONIC’s Jumbo Popcorn Chicken is made with all white pieces of chicken breast and is available in snack or large sizes with your choice of three dipping sauces: Hickory BBQ, Honey Mustard, or Ranch.

For a limited time only, SONIC is offering a snack size Jumbo Popcorn Chicken for $1.99 after 8 p.m.
