Along with all those New Year’s dieters, Sonic is starting 2019 on a bit of a health kick by introducing its Hearty Chili Bowl that promises beef and a full serving of vegetables starting at a mere 140 calories, a news release said. Of course, the chain said it's easy to add to that amount by augmenting the chili with Fritos, cheese and diced onions at the customer's discretion.
The $2.49 LTO can be fully loaded with all of the above for another 50 cents. Sonic now has more than 3,600 drive-ins nationally.
