Review: Sonic - Onion Rings

Sonic Onion Rings
Sonic's Onion Rings are hand-breaded and deep-fried which means they're made completely in house and are advertised as "made fresh daily." A medium will run you $2.19 while a large goes for $2.99.

On the plus side, the Onion Rings had plenty of "give." Meaning the onion actually broke when I bite into it instead of being stringy and getting pulled out of the fried breading.

The polarizing thing about Sonic's Onion Rings and what I didn't care for is the amount of sugar in them. The breading has a cornbread-like sweetness that while I like in corn bread, I don't like so much in my onion rings. I'm sure they have their fair share of fans, but I just prefer my onion rings savory with the only sweet being the natural sweet of the onion.
