SONIC’s Corn Dog is a delicious hot dog wrapped in a blanket of sweet cornbread, batter-fried to golden-brown perfection that guests can top with ketchup or mustard. The beloved snack is regularly priced at $1.49, so Corn Dog lovers can enjoy this irresistible snack at a fantastic value.

“The Corn Dog is a staple to our menu and it made perfect sense to celebrate National Corn Dog Day Sonic-style,” said Lori Abou Habib, vice president of national marketing at SONIC. “Offering our Corn Dog for just 50 cents all day spotlights a brand icon that’s been on our menu since 1959.”

Guests can pair a 50-cent Corn Dog with Tots and the new Ice Cream Slush made with real fruit, like Strawberry or Pineapple. The 50-cent Corn Dogs are available only on March 18, so head over to the nearest drive-in before they’re gone.
