Starting April 21, exclusively through the SONIC App
SONIC® Drive-In is taking a stand against mediocre, overpriced cheeseburgers by proclaiming the SONIC SmasherTM the new “Smashional Cheeseburger of AmericaTM,” and the brand wants people across the country to experience this better burger. Starting Monday, April 21, SONIC will kick off Smasher Week, where the first 1 million guests who order the Double SONIC Smasher through the SONIC App* can redeem an exclusive reward and snag this mouthwatering, premium cheeseburger for just $1*.
Hand-smashed and made to order, the Double SONIC Smasher features two Angus beef patties, seasoned and seared to perfection, creating a crispy edge and juicy center that’s irresistible. These patties are layered with two slices of melty American cheese, a creamy, tangy, signature Smasher sauce, crinkle-cut pickles and diced onions, all served on a pillowy soft potato bun.
“We truly believe America deserves a better burger. Consumers are having to shell out more and more money for the same old sad, assembly line burgers that have been sitting under heat lamps, and it’s a real problem when sit-down restaurants are offering better burger deals than fast food chains. We introduced the SONIC Smasher last year to give people something better, a premium cheeseburger at a fast-food price, and we’re proud of the highly positive responses we’ve had from guests since it launched,” shared Ryan Dickerson, Chief Marketing Officer at SONIC. “Our $1 Smasher Week is the perfect opportunity to try the SONIC Smasher and experience the difference. Whether you’re already a SONIC Smasher fan who wants to get it again at an extra delicious price, or you’re a cheeseburger connoisseur who hasn’t yet tried it and needs to be convinced, the SONIC Smasher is waiting to upgrade your burger game.”
