http://www.sonicdrivein.com/prmtns/2009/frbf/index.htmlWednesday, June 3rd from 8pm to midnight. Lets see now, how many Sonics can I get to during that time frame? The press release http://vocuspr.vocus.com/vocuspr30/Newsroom/ViewAttachment.aspx?SiteName=sonicCollateralXML&attachmentid=9768c692-98eb-4b0a-a971-65beab708b2d&attachmenttype=F&entity=PRAsset&entityid=103708Summer at SONIC starts with Free Root Beer Floats
SONIC is open ‘til midnight or later and Even Sweeter After Dark
(OKLAHOMA CITY) – The pools are open, the kids are wrapping up the school year and
summer temperatures are heating up. SONIC Drive-In® has the perfect way to help kick off
summer with a sweet treat that won’t impact your wallet. On Wednesday, June 3, SONIC will
thank its customers with Free Float Night, giving away free 10 oz. Root Beer Floats from 8 p.m.
until midnight at participating Sonic Drive-Ins. SONIC plans to give away more than 3.5 million

Most Sonics give me a cup of ice for free, Sunday the Sonic on 41st wanted to charge me 25 cents for a cup of ice.  |

Water, electricity, machinery, staff's time to give you that cup, how much did that cup, the lid and the straw cost the merchant? Is it a person's God given right to have free water and/or ice on demand from a restaurant? |

The restaurant at 41st & Garnett -near that Reasor's Store. I ordered a burger & small fry & a cup of ice, she said the cup of ice is 25 cents, I was never charged 25 cents before at Sonic for ice.. The root beer floats sound good but I bet they are packed with calories. Drink one and gain 5 pound around the tummy.  |

It's all part of the services, other restaurants (even other Sonic's) give ya free cups of ice. I'm a real cheapie, I order a cup of ice and pour my own drink into the ice and save some loot. It beats paying the prices they charge for a soft drink.  |

It beats paying the prices they charge for a soft drink. I hope you're getting your soft drinks at Sam's or something. Last I checked most convenience stores were charging a buck fifty for a 20 oz soft drink. You can get a 32 oz at Sonic for that price. |

Yeah, I buy a 2 or 3-litter jug of Lemonaid or a soft drink at Harps and pour that into my cup of ice, I go the cheapo way.. Back to the topic, I'd bet the Sonic restaurants will be busy during the free give-a-way- It may not even be worth going with long lines, unless the secret does not get out and no one knows about it.  |

Anyone go to Sonic last nite for the free drinks? BTW the Reasor's store on 41st & Garnett has Pepsi Products for 49 cents each in a 2-litter jug. A super deal but there is a limit of one per customer.  |
