Sonic Under $3 Craves menu explored

As part of its new Under $3 Craves menu, Sonic is launching a deal offering three fan favorites from its select menu for less than three dollars.

The Under $3 Craves lineup, in contrast to the Under $2 Craves lineup, consists primarily of small-sized sweets and snacks. However, there are a few menu items on there that are filling and satisfying enough to keep customers happy.

About Sonic

Sonic was the eleventh-largest chain of drive-in fast food restaurants in the country as of 2020, with more than 35,000 locations spread across 46 states. It is primarily known for its freshly prepared meals, car-hop services, and menu items including extra-long cheese coneys and toaster sandwiches. The business originated with Troy Smith's 1953 establishment of the Top Hat Drive-In (later Sonic) in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

The 2,000th Sonic Drive-In opened in Oklahoma City in 1999, and the business' 2001 sales totaled $2 billion. For the ninth year running, Forbes named Sonic one of the 200 Best Small Businesses in America in October 2003, and Entrepreneur selected Sonic as one of the best franchise opportunities in the country.

In 2003, Sonic celebrated its 50th anniversary, and "America's Drive-In" was available in every town of over 4,000 people in Oklahoma. Along the Bricktown Canal in the heart of Oklahoma City, a new Sonic headquarters building was built at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Sonic was then purchased by Inspire Brands in 2018.
