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.

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.
What if Hershey’s figures out a way to stick a miniature Reese’s Miniature Cup into a mini Reese’s Pieces all of which is in a Reese’s Miniature Cup? That would be awesome and probably taste exactly like these. (Spotted by Sylvia at Vons.)
