So say someone's refrigerator has been broken for over two weeks and they are buying ice (let's also assume they don't want to talk about said refrigerator  .) How does one actually go about buying ice from Sonic. Do you just pull up and order it like a hamburger and they bring it to the car?

Yep. Just drive up through the drive through or park in one of the parking spots and order an bag of ice.
eta: I prefer to park and order it so I can open my trunk for them to put it there. Otherwise they pass it out the drive through window and I have to set it in my passenger seat... which gets a bit wet from the condensation.

Okay, so we don't have a Sonic, so please explain to me why Sonic ice is special enough to be sold by the bag.  |

It is a pellet. I don't know what they do to it.. aerate it while it freezes? But it is a soft ice. The pellets are big enough to not melt too fast in a drink but they are softer than crushed ice chunks.
THe main thing I like is I don't have to carry it out of the store. They will carry it out, put it in my trunk or back seat for me and off I go. I'd LOVE a drive through grocery like that!

Fine crush, it's soft and crunchy at the same time. But doesn't melt too fas,t like some finely crushed.

Thanks, ladies! Around here you buy a bag of ice and it's practically a solid block that you have to smash against something to break apart. Sonic ice sounds much nicer. |

Sonic ice is sprinkled with crack dust...or something equally magical. Hope your refrig gets better soon. |

I had no idea that you could buy a bag of Sonic Ice.

You can also buy a bag of ice in the drive-thru at McDonalds. But, like EVERYTHING else they have, Sonic ice is better! |

Our local Sonics don't use the pellet ice anymore, but I did find that the Schlotzsky's (local Texas chain) carries it and you can buy it bagged from them, as well.

Never say that a Sonic somewhere doesn't have pellet ice! They might all get that blasphemous idea. That's the only reason to go there for happy hour!

We just moved to a teeny tiny town in the booooonies of Louisiana. We have maybe 3 McDonald's in a 20 mile radius and about 257 Sonics. Every single Sonic has flashing on their sign "Happy hour 2-4, Bag ice $2.59/bag."

Ha! I became addicted to Sonic ice when I was anemic and craved ice to crunch. It's has that awesomely perfectly tenderized texture that's perfect for chewing without breaking your teeth.

Okay, I know this is blasphemous, but I'm not a big ice fan. Any kind of ice. I prefer just two cubes of ice in a drink. I don't like to use straws and I don't like the ice getting all in my mouth when I take a sip. So Sonic-type ice is the worst for me. It gets all in the way when I'm drinking.

We are getting a Sonic here soon, the signs are up and the building looks to be all done. From threads here, I am very excited to try their drinks, but not the food!

Dickey's Barbeque here also has the pellet ice, in addition to free soft serve ice cream. Double Bonus!
BF, I'm sorry to hear about your fridge. Mine bit the dust earlier this summer and I now have the fridge of my dreams (well for this space - I'd love a large Built-in Sub Zero someday.)

They now sell an ice maker for your home that makes the pellet ice. A friend has one. I was so bummed that I didn't find out about it until too far along in my own kitchen remodel. Next kitchen will have one though! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Just last week I heard that Big Boss bought one for his wife. What a cool idea. |

I could have written this post! Then I had a blood transfusion and stopped craving it. I'm slowly starting to crunch ice again, so should probably get that checked. At any rate, I became an ice connoisseur during that time. I would buy a bag of Sonic ice at least every week and a half, and just crunch it all up.
I'd like to add Chik-fil-A to the rockin' ice list. Their pellets are bigger but just as soft. It depends on my mood the one I want. You should have a variety.
