"SONIC's Coney has been a customer favorite for years," said Dominic Losacco, vice president of marketing for SONIC. "As part of SONIC's ongoing initiative to improve the quality of our products, we've made some significant changes to our signature SONIC entree to make it even tastier."  

The new and improved Footlong Quarter Pound Coney is a blend of beef and pork and boasts a bigger size than ever before, weighing in at a quarter pound.   The classic coney toppings of chili and cheese round out this entree that is reminiscent of summer picnics, baseball games and family gatherings.

From June 28 to August 29, the new Footlong Quarter Pound Coney is priced for a limited time at $2.99.  It's the perfect summer food for anyone looking for a satisfying meal, especially if it's paired with any one of SONIC's side items such as handmade onion rings, famous tots, fresh mozzarella sticks or super hot Ched 'R' Peppers.  Also available this summer, the new Campfire Blast™, Real Ice Cream blended with toasted graham crackers and chocolate covered with marshmallows.  It's the perfect frozen treat for summer.
