the greatest drink token ever made

when i ordered my second wacky pack, the response was *so* slow that i
quit waiting and went through the drive-thru.

my vanilla dish was quick, but the wacky pack production was slow, slow,
slow. when the acting manager finally came to the window, he gave me
the pictured token as an apology for my wait: good for a free medium softdrink.

i've never seen one of these before, so they must be relatively new
(although the © says 2010).

it is just *AWESOME*. the chip itself is weighted and approaching pro-grade. the color is hilarious, a riff not only on the mints they give with your order at SONIC (it says "every customer is WORTH A MINT" on the reverse); but red is also commonly the lowest denomination of chips in a casino (okay, okay, it might just be a coincidence).

the fine print says it expires in 60 days, but there's no indication of
when it was actually given ... you could spend it for forever.

now, i'm one of the cheapest people who's ever lived ... in fact for the last 48 items i've received from SONIC i've paid a grand total of  $45 ... but
there's *no way* i'm ever cashing this chip ... it'll be my talisman until it's lost, stolen or i die ... and you better believe it'll be seeing more than a little action as a card protector.

it's gotta be a vegas only thing. hilarious, great and on the mark.

superb.

    1. My belief is they're "always good."

      If it gets rejected, send it to me and I'll sendyou the drink cash.

  16. Still giving these out in 2020! I received my first ever due to a slow order. Which from reading comments is the primary reason. Funny thing is my order wasnt that slow but I was the only one at the place at the time which is rare. This was back in March during the HEAVY covid19 outbreak so I'm thinking they actually gave me one just for giving them service haha. I'm keeping it as a 2020 Covid19 token. Doing the same thing with all 2020 coins and any new products I notice have come out in 2020 DURING the pandemic.
