Free floating anxiety — the good kind
As we prepare for Wednesday’s Free Float day at Sonic, a few pointers for someone who survived and enjoyed the 2007 promotion. There will be tremendous traffic at your local Sonic. (Oklahoma City-based Sonic plans to give away about 3.5 million of the treats). The event lasts from 8 p.m. until at least midnight, so a later arrival might find less traffic. The floats are pretty small at just 10 ounces. The tray our floats arrived upon was awash in root beer, and the cups were a little sticky.
However, the stuff is free — no purchase necessary. It does taste good. In 2007, parking bays opened up pretty quickly as folks tended to leave as soon as their orders arrived. And the overworked car hops were in good spirits, and gladly provided extra napkins. I probably won’t participate again unless I can round up a minivan full of kids, which is what I did last time.
Beginning Thursday, Sonic will offer a free large drink with the order of any combo meal.
