Sonic stated that this value menu is “here to stay” and will be available throughout the day. The initiative is in line with the new LIVE FREE EAT SONIC campaign, which aims to provide a value-for-money dining experience.

Customers who order through the Sonic app can purchase drinks and slushies at half price, classic Sonic cheeseburgers at half price on Tuesday nights, and benefit from additional monthly rewards and offers.

Ryan Dickerson, Sonic’s Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Now more than ever, consumers value affordable food options, but they shouldn’t have to settle for the same old, boring discounts or boring meals.

“With Sonic, we wanted to do something different – something fun – so we focused on variety, which is why we’re introducing the new $1.99 menu, or as we like to call it, the FUN.99 menu.

“The FUN.99 menu is all about choice and fun. Whether you want one of our dozen shake flavors, a chili cheese coney, or our legendary tots for a midday snack, it’s all for just $1.99.”

In April 2024, Sonic announced the expansion of its dessert offerings with the limited-time launch of the OREO Big Scoop Cheesecake Sundae and Blast.
