1977 Sonic Drive-in Restaurant Commercial (1st Commercial)

This was the first ever television commercial for the famous Sonic Drive-in Restaurant Chain! Sonic was founded by Troy Smith in 1945in Shawnee Oklahoma in 1945 and by the late 1970s, there were about 1000 locations nationwide. I think that this good old-fashion type of commercial is far better than the ridiculous ones of today! Happy eating!

**This commercial is from my 1977-83 Commercials Volume 11**

I've been with Sonic for 9 years (on the payroll), and I've just decided to look around and see what their commercials were like.

It makes me so happy that there are people out there that LOVE Sonic. Your business is very appreciated, and I love you al!!

At least this commercial isn't as annoying as all the other Sonic commercials these days.

Sonics hamburgers, fries and lemon berry slushes are the besst. Whenever i go, I order the same thing.
