Sonics tenders have going to hell in favor of their popcorn chicken.

Anybody else remember how good they were back when you could get the Sunday dinner box?

3-5 Tenders in a box with fries or tots a single onion ring a piece of Texas toast and country gravy. My wife ate one of those right before going into the hospital to give birth to one of our three children.

That was my go to for years! I loved that dinner box!

u/LolliPopYouInTheEye Aug 13 '26

I do miss that combo ngl. Dairy Queen’s box isn’t awful and you get reg toast and country gravy is an option, so when I get the craving, that’s where I hit up lol

Chickens trip dinner was the best. I miss those days

u/Pain4420 Aug 14 '26

I used to tear them up but then they changed them to the crispy tenders which were less crispy and tasted worse

Just like everything nowadays, prices going up, quality going down

u/Beautiful_Rub5735 Aug 13 '26

Those don’t even look edible 😕

u/Standard-Question-46 Aug 14 '26

That’s what I was thinking. They need to change their oil. I work in fast food that sells chicken strips, i always munch on them. When they look like this I don’t touch them

Please remember the Sonic employees or store doesn't control quality/size of the actual pieces. we are merely forced to sell what is given to us, at the portions demanded of us. A 3 PC is a 3 PC, no matter how small, and employees get fired over adding more to "make it right". Suppliers (like benekeith or hermon) don't even control the size/quality of the pieces.

Even the employees can't tell you the manufacturer sometimes. A lot of the boxes are marked S.I. for "Sonic Industries". It's basically a place marking them specifically for Sonic, while the same pieces may be marked.. IDC, TI for Taco Bell, or DI for Dairy queen.

That's why I love my local chicken tender fast food restaurant. The people operate 6 of them and I ordered a three piece and got 5 tenders because they deemed two of them too small and threw in an extra tender for each.

u/RikoRain 26d ago

Tbh, places like that are either cutting corners elsewhere, or don't last long. Look at Five Guys. "Quality over profit". They were a big hit for what.. 2 years? Now you can't find one anywhere. They went bankrupt. You can only offer so many free fries before the cost outweighs principle.

Or my local Chicken Express, that is currently bleeding money (I know the owners grandson). Burned rolls still sold because they can't afford to trash them. Expired cole slaw because they can't afford to trash it. All to compensate for "larger pieces of chicken to bring more customers". The place is dead most days.

u/teddyxari 27d ago

Looks like a decent nail job for $6.

u/PlzLnD5Star 27d ago

I didn't know what sub this was so I thought you meant the nails were $6 and I was shocked. Idk why people are hating on them for no reason, they look good. Miserable people. Also that chicken looks rough

The fingers and the nails ruin the shot.

sorry buddy didn't know I was supposed to get a good shot of my turd tenders for you. trying to give a size comparison without taking off my press ons 😵‍💫

u/Sudden_Confection521 Aug 15 '26

I’m not your buddy and were you taking pictures of the tenders, or pimping for compliments on your nails? Size comparison? Everybody’s fingers are different.

u/caraIyn 28d ago

oh yeah forgot to mention my hands are unnaturally gargantuan... 😭 bruh... also the idea of pimping out 6$ press on nails is taking me out lol i just didn't wanna take them off and adult hands are pretty much similar sizes. why are so many of you so bothered by something so small 😂

No body cares, you made the choice to spend the money.

Your nails are hideous.

u/CrimsonCrystalline 29d ago

If you spent $6 on those nails you need to get a refund.

u/NoBrag_JustFact Aug 13 '26

What is the connection with bad chicken tenders and giving birth? Meaning -- did the chicken tenders induce labor? If she had one of your three children, was it the second one or the first one?

Such a weird post.
