Sonic Groovy Fries are making their debut at participating locations in the US to provide consumers with a textural side dish to try out this spring. The fries come as the brand's first update to its original French fries in more than 10 years and feature a crispy, golden exterior that offers just the right level of crunch and helps to lock in the heat. The fries thus feature a soft, tender interior that works perfectly with the crisp exterior for the perfect textural experience.
Sonic Groovy Fries are arriving alongside the Groovy Sauce, which features a creamy ranch flavor with herbs and a touch of sriracha sauce. The sauce comes with every order of Groovy Fries with both making their formal debut starting in May 2024.
