I have been going to this Sonic off and on for YEARS, so I am well aware that this location moves at the speed of a Victorian child recovering from the plague. Tonight there were cars everywhere and the wait was long, but I did not care. I was patient. I was kind. I was simply a woman with one dream: an Oreo Cheesecake Handcrafted Shake.
I ordered a medium. They handed me a cup so large I briefly wondered if I had accidentally ordered a family-sized bucket of dairy. I thought, “Wow, they really hooked me up.”
They did not hook me up.
I put the straw in, took one enormous sip while driving away, and was immediately introduced to what I can only describe as a WARHEADS SOUR MILK SHAKE FROM HELL.
This was not “a little tangy.” This was not “cheesecake flavored.” This tasted like milk that had been left in the Nevada sun, developed consciousness, and chose violence.
Unfortunately, I was DRIVING, so I couldn’t even spit it out. I had to hold this demonic liquid in my mouth for what felt like 45 business days while trying to safely pull over. By the time I finally spit it out, my brother was gagging from the SMELL alone.
We immediately made a U-turn. My brother had to go in for me because at that point I was emotionally unavailable.
They refunded me, which I appreciate, but then an employee said, “Oh yeah, it’s sour because of the cheesecake syrup,” and asked if we wanted another one.
Respectfully, WHAT?
Cheesecake is not supposed to taste like it needs an exorcism. My brother could literally smell spoiled dairy from the passenger seat.
Meanwhile, while we waited for the refund, the employees were in the back on their phones like I had not just survived a biological attack in the drive-thru.
So now I am home, dessertless, traumatized, and still tasting the ghost of spoiled milk.
Honestly, the entire experience felt like a humiliation ritual.
Please check the dairy before someone else gets handed the Sour Milk Challenge.
