Bite-Sized Broccoli Tots

Sonic Drive-In is Currently Testing Warm Broccoli Cheddar Tots

— December 23, 2020 — Lifestyle
If you're looking for a way to enjoy the delicious taste of taste sauce, but also get in a serving of veggies, Sonic's new Broccoli Cheddar Tots are the perfect option.

Sonic Drive-In recently announced that it is testing out two innovative new products: Broccoli Cheddar Tots and Cold Foam. Sonic's new Broccoli Cheddar Tots is a take on the chain's existing Tots. The new version will feature a crispy coating on the outside and bits of warm broccoli and melted cheddar cheese on the inside. In fact, there's enough broccoli inside that you'll get a full serving of vegetables in a large order. As Sonic's Vice President of Product Innovation and Development Scott Uehlein explains, "We spent a little over two years working on the Broccoli Cheddar Tots and we feel like this is a really authentic spin in an area where we have quite a bit of equity. It’s also a product that isn’t being offered anywhere else."
