SONIC Celebrates America’s 250th Birthday with the New America $2.50 Menu
Introducing the America $2.50 Menu: a limited-time lineup of SONIC favorites, each priced at just $2.50*. Available from June 22 through July 12 in the SONIC® App and at participating locations nationwide, the menu brings together unmistakable flavors at a value that’s just as iconic.
Because no one does classic Americana quite like SONIC, the America $2.50 Menu is stacked with fan-favorite bites and sips guests know and love:
- Red, White & Blue Slush Float: A festive summer treat returning for the season, featuring icy blue raspberry flavor, creamy vanilla soft serve and real strawberries
- Jr Double Cheeseburger: Two beef patties, seasoned and layered with melty American cheese, pickles, ketchup and mustard, all on a golden, toasted bun
- All-American Hot Dog: A SONIC staple topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, diced onions and served in a soft, warm bakery bun
- Medium Onion Rings: Crispy, golden onion rings – perfect as a snack or side
The celebration doesn’t stop there. Limited-edition 20-ounce cups commemorating America’s 250th will be available with drink purchases this summer, featuring designs inspired by iconic U.S. landmarks and adding extra spirit to every sip.
In addition to delivering value all summer long, SONIC is continuing its longstanding commitment to education through the SONIC® Foundation. In July the SONIC Foundation will donate $250,000 through education nonprofit DonorsChoose to support teachers and help fund history-related classroom projects in honor of this historic milestone. The funding is made possible through Limeades for Learning®**, where a portion of every Drink, Slush and Shake purchase is donated to the SONIC Foundation to support public education and empower teachers and students in communities nationwide.
Powered by the SONIC Foundation, SONIC has donated more than $32 million to support local classrooms since 2009, making it one of the largest programs supporting public education in the United States.
