I knew something was wrong when I heard it cough like an 80-year-old diner waitress whose voice had been scarred by years of hollering out quirky names for the way an egg is cooked and inhaling second hand smoke. What could I possibly do? I looked away for a moment, pondering over if I should neglect this sandwich. No, I couldn&#8217;t possibly abandon it as it stared at me with its bacon tongue sticking out of its limp bun of a mouth, oh excuse me, croissant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Help&#8230;me&#8230;eat&#8230;me,&#8221; the CroisSONIC BLT continued to plead. Did it want me to end its misery after spending its entire childhood under a heat lamp? I did not want to ask it questions, because it was so pitiful to look at. It wasn&#8217;t as emotional as those commercials with Sarah McLachlan showing neglected puppies and kitties, which make me weep, but it was pretty awful.<\/p>\n<p>This sandwich, if you could even call it that, put me in a very awkward position. Not as awkward as the time my grandmother asked what &#8220;Two Girls One Cup&#8221; meant, but awkward nevertheless. Should I eat it, or should I just give it to one of those puppies in that Sarah McLachlan commercial?  I decided to take a bite. &#8220;Thank\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6you,&#8221; it said in its weak ET-like voice. I was sure that this would be a glorious day for the CroisSONIC BLT, but it would not be one for my colon.<\/p>\n<p>I thought it would be harder than it was to end this sad little sandwich\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life. Actually, the entire task took less than three minutes, and that was alternating between a Diet Cherry Limeade (one of the reasons to go to Sonic) and the medium order of tater tots that came packaged along with this depressing sandwich. Thankfully, those tater tots were the Prozac I needed to help get me through the serious bouts of sadness that occurred while eating the pathetic CroisSONIC BLT.<\/p>\n<p>The croissant made Burger King\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s look like a freshly baked, buttery pastry that could be found in the finest of Parisian bakeries, while the strips of bacon were nice and crisp. BUT THERE WERE ONLY TWO STRIPS!!! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a BLT, Sonic! All caps, not a bLT. As for the lettuce and tomato, they were\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6well\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6not ripe.<\/p>\n<p>The CroisSONIC BLT had so much potential, but alas, it just fell into the trap that a lot of fast food sandwiches tend to crash into (a.k.a Sandwich Skid Row). It sounds good and the original looks scrumptious, but it loses its self worth because it knows it could never live up to what&#8217;s on billboards and television commercials. It does not care what it looks like and just waits until a hungry human takes it out of its misery. <\/p>\n<p>With all of these sad sandwiches, there needs to be a fast food sandwich rehab, which I think would also make a decent reality show.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 sandwich &#8211; 425 calories, 29.6 grams of fat, 11 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 32 milligrams of cholesterol, 888 milligrams of sodium, 29 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 5 grams of sugar, 12 grams of protein, 16% vitamin A, 7% vitamin C, 4% calcium, 8% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Sonic CroisSONIC BLT<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> $2.99 (with medium tots)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 137 grams<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Sonic<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 3 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Good value.
