Food find: Sonic Blasts

As previously stated, I love Sonic. Sonic is a drive-in style fast food joint that we don't have in Illinois. The eatery's special is drinks -- they advertise that there are something like 119,000 possible drink combinations and I'd love to try them all. There are really tasty add-ons that you can put in slushes and drinks.

The other day I passing by and I was pretty hungry. And over heated. I noticed that they had Blasts, which are ice cream desserts with chunks of Oreo, Reeses peanut butter cups, M&Ms, or cookie dough. They appeared very similar to McDonald's McFlurries or Dairy Queen's Blizzards, but I thought they were worth a try. You can see my peanut butter Blast here.

The presentation was much better than that of other similar fast food dishes. It was topped with a dollop of whipped cream, pushed through a pastry tip of some kind. It also has little bits of peanut butter cups on top. The consistency of the ice cream itself was airy and lighter than a McFlurry. But my favorite part of it was the chunks of peanut butter cups. They were all different sizes and distributed throughout the ice cream, whereas with a McFlurry, you get a pulverized filling in only parts of the dessert. There were also little chunks of just peanutbutter or just chocolate. The texture and taste was interesting becaue every bite was different.

I'm going to miss Sonic.
