Forget Cuffing Season, SONIC Wants You to Break Up with Your Burger: Introducing the New All-American Smasher Lineup and $6 All-American Smasher Meal
Available nationwide for a limited time starting January 12 at participating locations
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For too long, fast-food burger fans have settled for relationships that just aren’t working: burgers that keep going up in price and down in quality. So SONIC is introducing the one worth committing to – the new All-American SONIC Smasher™.
Most fast-food burgers promise more than they deliver. The All-American SONIC Smasher™ is different. Hand-smashed, made to order and stacked with classic toppings people actually crave, it’s proof that when it comes to burgers, SONIC is everyone’s perfect match. That commitment comes to life with the $6 All-American Smasher Meal – a complete burger meal that punches above its price point.
Introducing the New All-American SONIC Smashers
The new All-American SONIC Smasher™ takes the Original SONIC Smasher™ even further with flavors designed to deliver premium quality in every bite – without the premium price tag.
Each All-American SONIC Smasher™ is hand-smashed and made to order, featuring two patties made with Angus beef seasoned and seared to perfection for crispy edges and a juicy center. The patties are layered with melty American cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, crinkle-cut pickles, diced onions, ketchup and mayo, all served on a pillowy soft potato bun, fresh off the grill. It’s the classic American cheeseburger – leveled up. The lineup includes double and triple options, with or without crispy bacon.
The new All-American SONIC Smasher™ options include:
- All-American SONIC Smasher™
- All-American Triple SONIC Smasher™
- All-American Bacon SONIC Smasher™
- All-American Triple Bacon SONIC Smasher™
A Meal This Big Shouldn’t Cost This Little: The New $6 All-American Smasher Meal
SONIC isn’t just raising the bar on burgers – its resetting expectations for value. While other burger brands keep asking guests to accept less for more, SONIC is doing the opposite. The new $6 All-American Smasher Meal delivers a full, crave-worthy burger meal, all for just $6 for a limited-time.
The $6 All-American Smasher Meal includes:
- An All-American SONIC Smasher™*
- Medium Tots or Groovy Fries – choose from golden, classic Tots or hot, crispy and perfectly dippable Groovy Fries
- Medium Soft Drink or Iced Tea, served over iconic SONIC Ice®
“The SONIC Smasher proves you don’t have to settle,” said Ryan Dickerson, Chief Marketing Officer at SONIC. “It’s a premium, made-to-order, hand-smashed burger that’s simply better than you’ll find anywhere else in fast-food, or even fast-casual – it’s America’s favorite for a reason. With the All-American Smasher lineup, we’re offering our best burger in a classic way people love without cutting corners on quality. And at $6 for a full meal, we’re not just offering the best value; we're raising the bar for what a fast-food burger relationship should be.”
