\"Sonic<\/a><\/p>\n

An ice cream sundae is nothing without its cone. Well, except if it\u2019s in a cup. That\u2019s why Madonna\u2019s cone-bra was so ingenious \u2014 it was both cones and cups at the same time. For sanitary reasons, I should probably advise against eating ice cream out of anything that’s been near Madonna’s chest.<\/p>\n

For a limited time, Sonic restaurants will be offering the new Waffle Cone Sundae in three flavor combinations: M&M\u2019s Candies & Strawberry, Snickers Bar & Caramel, and Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups & Chocolate. If you would like to take a walk on the wild side, you can also choose to customize your Waffle Cone Sundae. Or, if you\u2019re bland, boring, and allergic to fun, you can order a plain vanilla Waffle Cone Sundae, devoid of all toppings, for only a single dollar less. <\/p>\n

Me? I stand somewhere in the middle. I enjoy an occasional thrill, but I\u2019m nowhere near crazy enough to try crowd-surfing at a Yo-Yo Ma concert. That\u2019s why I went with a pre-made flavor: the Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups & Chocolate Waffle Cone Sundae.<\/p>\n

Hmm. Sonic certainly didn\u2019t spare the peanut butter cup topping. As soon as the carhop handed me the ice cream cone, little bits of Reese\u2019s started falling all over the place \u2014 probably the reason why he thrust a handful of napkins in my face a few seconds later.<\/p>\n

\"Sonic<\/a><\/p>\n

I needed those napkins, too. The waffle cone itself is crisp, yet fragile. On several occasions, a single bite caused large portions of the cone to shatter. I had mistakenly left my Patrick Bateman gloves at home, so I found myself licking frantically to prevent vanilla ice cream from dripping all over my beautiful, bare hands.<\/p>\n

Even with such a delicate cone, the ice cream never leaked out of the bottom. This was convenient, as I didn\u2019t want to be burdened with the task of explaining the origin of sticky, white stains on the car seats to my leasing agent.<\/p>\n

The flavor of the Waffle Cone Sundae\u2019s vanilla soft serve base is complemented by both the peanut butter cup bits and the chocolate syrup. The first few bites combine the two toppings in perfect proportion, a familiar blend of chocolate and peanut flavors. <\/p>\n

\"Sonic<\/a><\/p>\n

Regrettably, the balance doesn\u2019t last for too long, as the top layer of the sundae disappears quickly. What remains is little more than plain vanilla ice cream in a plain waffle cone \u2014 a dessert as boring as the Christmas with Colonel Sanders<\/a><\/i> vinyl record. (There was so much potential. The Little Drumstick Boy<\/i>? The Twelve Days of Chicken<\/i>? These songs practically write themselves.) To attain a more thorough distribution of flavors, Sonic would have been better off swirling the toppings into the vanilla ice cream base.<\/p>\n

I was disappointed to find that the waffle cone seems weakly flavored, smothered by the vanilla ice cream during most bites. As the cone begins to double-up in an overlap toward its bottom, the waffle flavor becomes more apparent, but the cone merely serves as a vessel to hold ice cream for the majority of the sundae.<\/p>\n

The most attractive aspect of Sonic\u2019s Waffle Cone Sundae is the price. Ice cream isn\u2019t always cheap in today\u2019s economy, and I definitely don\u2019t want to resort to eating those questionable Walmart ice cream sandwiches<\/a> whenever I\u2019m craving frozen dairy treats. For just a few cents under three dollars, the Waffle Cone Sundae is a bargain.<\/p>\n

Despite all of its flaws, the Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups & Chocolate Waffle Cone Sundae remains a satisfying and inexpensive ice cream cone. Both the quantity of toppings and the waffle cone itself were less than ideal, but for the price, its peanut butter and chocolate flavor is sufficient.<\/p>\n

On the first day of Chicken,
\nThe Colonel sent to me:
\n12 pounds of gravy,
\n11 herbs and spices,
\n10 tubs of white meat,
\n9 thighs and drumsticks,
\n8 buttermilk biscuits,
\n7 Chicken Littles,
\n6 wings and sauces,
\n5 DOUBLE DOOOOOOOWNS!
\n4 Famous Bowls,
\n3 Go Cups,
\n2 pot pies,
\nand a bucket of Original Recipeeeeee.<\/i><\/p>\n
