# French Fry-Based Nachos Sonic is Adding New Frychos to Its Summer Menu By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2022-07-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frychos References: [chewboom](https://www.chewboom.com/2022/07/10/sonic-adds-new-frychos-to-summer-snacking-menu/) & [order.sonicdrivein](https://order.sonicdrivein.com/menu/summer-snacks/product/frychos)  [Sonic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-queso-fries) has your summer snacking needs covered with the debut of the ultra-sharable new dish, Frychos. Frychos is a seasonal dish that's been added to Sonic's [app-exclusive Summer Snacking Menu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snacky-hour) – a menu that's only available to app users. Just as the name suggests, the new Frychos are a cross between French fries and a plate of nachos. As the online description reads: "Crispy fries, creamy cheese sauce, crispy bacon pieces, diced onions, and spicy jalapenos topped with zesty baja sauce." But because the dish is available to order through the brand's app, you can customize your Frychos to remove any ingredient that doesn't suit your taste buds. Ordering through the app also allows you to add condiment packets like Honey Mustard, Ketchup, or Signature Suce.
