REMINDER: 50-Cent Corn Dogs Today at Sonic

Sonic Corn Dog

To celebrate National Corn Dog Day, Sonic is offering 50-cent Corn Dogs all day today (Saturday, March 18).

Sonic’s Corn Dog is a hot dog that’s dipped in sweet cornbread batter and then dipped into hot oil to be deep fried. It can be topped with ketchup or mustard. Its usual suggested price is $1.49.

If you miss out because you were busy or the Sonic location runs out, don’t fret. Sonic has a history of offering 50-cent hot dogs on other days throughout the year.

A Sonic Corn Dog had 230 calories, 130 calories from fat, 15 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, 570 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of sugar, and 6 grams of protein.

COMING SOON: Keebler Despicable Me 3 Yellow Bell-Os Fudge Stripes

A post shared by @candyhunting on

According to our friend Candy Hunting on Instagram, these cookies will be cake batter flavored and be hitting shelves near the release date for Despicable Me 3, which is on June 30.

It seems as if Keebler is going at an Oreo-like pace this year when it comes to new Fudge Stripes flavors. There was Cinnamon Roll in January, Lemon Cream Pie this month, and Strawberry Cheesecake coming later this year. I look forward to what else the elves have in store for us in 2017.

This seems like an old flavor, but it appears to be new. I find it to be a bit crazy there was a Clear American Pumpkin Spice Sparking Water before a wild berry one. (Spotted by Carla at Walmart.)
