4th of July Showdown

Sonic has a new treat....the Chiller. The Chiller is the classic limeade version of the cream slush. So I decided to do a little showdown. Classic Cherry Limeade vs. Cherry Cream Slush vs. the new Cherry Limeade Chiller.

All three are very tasty. And here is my breakdown.

Cherry Limeade ~ you can't go wrong with it. Classic, sweet, and tasty.

Cherry Limeade Chiller ~ basically they make a cherry limeade and then mix in vanilla soft serve ice cream. My first thought was that it was going to be like a float because of the Sprite that is in a Limeade, but it's not. Well, it kind of is, but not really. It doesn't have as much pop in it as a float does. So this drink leans more towards the milk shake side of things. And it is tangy. Not too sweet. It's different and good.

Cherry Cream Slush ~ once you have a Cherry Limeade Chiller, you are not going to want a Cherry Cream Slush. It's good. But kind of bland after you try the tangy awesomeness of the Chiller. It's not bursting with flavor by any means. Just Cherry, Vanilla Soft Serve, and Ice. Blah.

Overall...
Cherry Limeade gets a 4 out of 5 Straws
Cherry Limeade Chiller gets a 4.5 out of 5 Straws
Cherry Cream Slush gets a 2.5 out of 5 Straws

Showdown winner goes to the Cherry Limeade Chiller. TRY IT!!!

Happy Independence Day everyone!

The Cherry Limeade Chiller was just... no. Sure it was tangy, but better than a Cherry Limeade? No way. It doesn't taste nearly as good as the Limeade and costs nearly $4. Why spend $4 on something when I can get a Route 44 Cherry Limeade that tastes BETTER than the Chiller for 1/4th the price? In my opinion the Chiller should get a 2.5/5, and that's beingg generous.

So I tried a Cherry Limeade chiller during my travels this weekend...didn't like it. Way tangy and quite a disappointment. I have to disagree with your straws...Sorry.

True. The Chillers are much more expensive. They are just different from the other drinks that I have tried. I am sorry you guys didn't like them!
