This news comes when fast-food restaurants have been actively promoting seasonal beverages to attract customers. Last month, Burger King introduced its Frozen Fanta Sour Watermelon Shake while Chick-fil-A introduced its Mango Passion Tea Lemonade.
Other notable beverages that have joined summer menus include the Get Up and Glow Dunkin’ Refreshers at Dunkin and the Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink at Starbucks.
However, given the status of the coronavirus pandemic, Sonic may have an edge due to its unique drive-in dining concept. The restaurant chain has risen in popularity in 14 states, according to an analysis from market research agency TOP Data.
