Sonic Drive-In is taking a stand against mediocre, overpriced cheeseburgers by proclaiming the Sonic Smasher™ the new “Smashional Cheeseburger of America.” The brand wants people across the country to experience this better burger. Starting Monday, April 21, the restaurant chain will kick off Smasher Week, where the first one million customers who order the Double Sonic Smasher through the restaurant’s mobile app can redeem an exclusive reward and snag this premium cheeseburger for just $1*.

Guests visiting Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando Resort can find locations nearby. One is at 5399 International Drive, which is an easy drive from Universal Orlando Resort, especially from Universal Epic Universe.

Double Sonic Smasher

Hand-smashed and made to order, the Double Sonic Smasher features two Angus beef patties, seasoned and seared to perfection, creating a crispy edge and juicy center that’s irresistible. These patties are layered with two slices of melty American cheese, a creamy, tangy, signature Smasher sauce, crinkle-cut pickles and diced onions, all served on a pillowy soft potato bun.

“We truly believe America deserves a better burger. Consumers are having to shell out more and more money for the same old sad, assembly line burgers that have been sitting under heat lamps, and it’s a real problem when sit-down restaurants are offering better burger deals than fast food chains. We introduced the SONIC Smasher last year to give people something better, a premium cheeseburger at a fast-food price, and we’re proud of the highly positive responses we’ve had from guests since it launched,” shared Ryan Dickerson, chief marketing officer at Sonic.

He also stated, “Our $1 Smasher Week is the perfect opportunity to try the SONIC Smasher and experience the difference. Whether you’re already a SONIC Smasher fan who wants to get it again at an extra delicious price, or you’re a cheeseburger connoisseur who hasn’t yet tried it and needs to be convinced, the SONIC Smasher is waiting to upgrade your burger game.”
