    Restaurant Review: Sonic Drive-In – A Fairy’s Sparkling Delight As a fairy, I’ll admit that human dining establishments aren’t usually made with wings in mind. The parking stalls, glowing menu boards, and endless rumble of engines can feel a bit overwhelming for someone who prefers dew drops and flower petals. Yet, despite all that, I keep finding myself fluttering back to Sonic Drive-In, wings shimmering with anticipation. Why, you ask? One simple word: peppermints. Those glorious little discs of sweetness they place on top of the drink lids are pure magic. They gleam in the sunlight like tiny enchanted coins, and their cool, sugary scent is enough to make my wings flutter faster. The first time I found one sitting there—waiting just for me, or so I imagined—I thought it was a token of appreciation for visiting. Even after learning everyone gets one, I still feel that same thrill. Honestly, it’s probably the real reason I go back. Now, about the food. The chili cheese tots are a hearty human invention—golden, crispy bites of potato blanketed in warm chili and melty cheese. They’re rich, messy, and entirely too big for my tiny hands, but the flavor is irresistible. Every

    Okay. I will say this. The food was great. But we had originally gone up there for Happy Hour not knowing they had stopped it due to change of seasons. But when we had asked the male employee "Caiden" if they were still offering it, he said yes. However, when we looked at our receipt, we were charged over 40 dollars for our supposedly "approved" Happy Hour Items. When we got home, we had been notified that Happy Hour is a summer exclusive event and had ended 2 months ago. So we were lied to and charged full price for something we were told would be half price. We are extremely disappointed.
