Update, January 31, 2020 1:43 p.m.: Finally some good news for a change! Sonic confirmed today that it's officially releasing its Tater Tot Nachos—known as Totchos—for a limited time.
You may remember that we got a taste of these back in the fall, but now Sonic has added it to its menus nationwide so we can all get in on the fun of a hybrid snack. Totchos are made with tots topped with cheese sauce, bacon, diced onions and jalapenos, all doused with zesty baja sauce. They're all the goodness of nachos, but with potatoes. It's heaven.
The bad news is they're only sticking around until March 1, so get ye to a Sonic. Like, now!
Original, October 30, 2019 4:26 p.m.: Alright, y'all, Sonic is adding new items to their fall and winter menu, so buckle up. There are four all new, limited-time offers being added to their line-up, and two drinks that aren't completely confirmed yet...one of which is a slush that tastes just like Sour Patch Kids.
Delish got to try all of the new additions before they hit a Sonic near you, and there's A LOT to talk about. Sonic is already known for their unconventional slush flavors—Red Bull, Reaper Spicy Margarita, pickle— so the Redberry Sour Patch Kids Slush was definitely a stand out item.
Contrary to what you'd expect, the slush wasn't overly sweet because you can definitely taste the duality of sweet and sour in the drink, just like you can with the candy. Not to mention they mix in crushed-up Sour Patch Kids, so there's a hint of the gummy texture too. This breaks up the berry flavor a bit and helps alleviate immediate brain freeze. Also, insider tip: Our friends at Sonic said that this drink pairs perfectly spiked with gin...just sayin'.
The Sour Patch Slush is not a confirmed new menu item quite yet, but there are still a bunch of definite new products to get ready for. Bacon Mac & Cheese Bites and Chili Cheese Bites are both releasing on November 4. Apparently, there's a huge debate at Sonic HQ about which bite is best (FYI, I'm #TeamBaconMac). A Biggie Cheeseburger is hitting Sonic locations on December 2, and Totchos (tater tots + nachos) will be releasing on February 2. An Espresso Shake is also not yet confirmed with a concrete release date yet, but their new menu items will definitely hold you over until then.
