Throughout August 2000, Sonic will deliver the terrific taste of cream pie to customers with its new Chocolate Cream Pie Shake. This thick, rich chocolate shake is blended with bits of graham cracker crust and topped with whipped cream. It tastes like homemade pie, but is delivered cool and smooth in a fraction of the time. Sonic customers can also enjoy the taste of two other cream pie favorites with the reintroduction of Sonic's delicious Banana Cream Pie and Coconut Cream Pie Shakes.

"Offering an extensive Frozen Favorites(TM) menu is important to us at Sonic. Our Cream Pie Shakes are just some of the many delicious options our customers have for staying cool this summer," said Pattye Moore, executive vice president-Sonic Corp. "And, if a customer is in the mood for a Fountain or Frozen of their own, we're prepared to make nearly any fountain drink or frozen concoction they can dream up."

Sonic, which specializes in made-to-order fast food, is known for its specialty menu items and quality customer service. Popular menu items include Extra-Long Cheese Coneys (hot dogs with chili and cheese), fresh-made Onion Rings, Tater Tots and a variety of Frozen and Fountain Favorites(TM) such as Cream Pie Shakes, Banana Splits and Cherry Limeades.
