[Sonic Drive-In](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-queso-fries) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-croutots). 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."
