News: Sonic - New Tex Mex Coney

Nothing says football like Tex-Mex? At least that's what's Sonic is counting on this fall with the introduction of their new limited-time Tex-Mex Footlong Quarter Pound Coney. I guess if Friday Night Lights taught me anything, it's that football is life in Texas. But back to the hot dog.

Sonic's Tex-Mex Footlong Quarter Pound Coney is covered in chili and cheese and topped with Fritos, sliced jalapenos, diced onions, and chipotle sauce. $3.99 buys you a Tex-Mex Footlong Quarter Pound Coney and an order of Tots. Having eaten the regular Footlong Quarter Pound Coney, I'd recommend you go halves with a friend.

Continuing the football bent, Sonic is running the Flavor Touchdown Sweepstakes from November 1st to December 12th at FlavorTouchdown.com. The prize is a VIP football trip for six to the bowl game of your choice and a prize package including a big-screen HDTV, $1000, and six camcorders. You can enter once per day until December 12, 2010, no purchase is necessary, and more details can be found at the contest site.

The Tex-Mex Footlong Coney is also supported by a football-themed ad:
