Have you been to Sonic yet? I'm dying to go, but I certainly don't feel like waiting 2 hours! Here are some tips on what to order, courtesy of Eat This, Not That.

Eat This:
  • Sonic Burger with mustard cuts 25 percent of the fat by having mustard instead of mayo. 540 calories, 25 g fat, 730 mg sodium
  • Grilled Chicken on Ciabatta with BBQ sauce. 375 calories, 9 g fat, 1,310 mg sodium
  • Grilled Chicken Wrap. 380 calories, 11 g fat, 1,300 mg sodium
  • Junior Banana Split. 200 calories, 4.5 g fat, 27 g sugars
Not That:
  • Chicken Club Toaster Sandwich. 690 calories, 35 g fat, 1,900 mg sodium. How can a chicken sandwich pack so much fat? Start with a fried chicken breast, add bacon, cheese and mayo, and you're there. Ditch the swine and save 10 grams of fat.
  • Jumbo Popcorn Chicken Salad. 490 calories, 28 g fat, 1,440 mg sodium
  • Fish Sandwich. 640 calories, 31 g fat, 1,180 mg sodium
  • Large Hi-C Fruit Punch. 290 calories, 77 g sugars
Hidden Danger:
  • Minute Maid Cranberry Juice Slush. Cranberry juise is the Ryan Seacrest of drinks - fine in small doses, but too sickly sweet to pour on heavy. A large has more sugar than 3 sodas. 450 calories, 124 g sugars
  • Onion Rings. Nothing irregular here - onions, batter, hot fat - except these crispy Os might be the only ones left in the fast food world that are still made fresh by hand. Delicious? Maybe. But a large order packs a punishing 720 calories and 41 grams of fat.
