Sonic was running a chicken strips basket that came with chicken strips, your choice of tots or fries (like that’s really a choice), country gravy, texas toast, a (singular) onion ring, and a drink for $3.99.  Compare that to DQ’s chicken strips, fries, gravy, and toast for the same $3.99, and you’d think Sonic would win on value alone.  But, alas… Sonic lost big points in the ‘taste’ category.  The chicken wasn’t very tasty, the gravy was bland, and the toast was soggy.  The tots, onion ring (nice touch) and drink couldn’t save it, though.  In battle “chicken strips box” I give the prize to DQ.

Good news for Sonic, though.  They brought back the Brown Bag Special (2 burgers, 2 fries or tots, and 2 drinks for $7.99) and there is NO WAY DQ can beat that!
