Can I have your tots?
This may be a shameful thing to admit, but Mike and I crack up every single time we see that Sonic commercial for the chili cheese tater tots. “Don’t you BRING that weak tot action! You go to your mouth STRONG or you don’t go at ALL!” I’m sure a lot of people find it annoying, but we just can’t help ourselves. I think it’s maybe because “tots” make us think of Napoleon Dynamite. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway.
We love this commercial so much that, when I went to the grocery store this morning, I bought some frozen tater tots. At Mike’s request. For dinner on Saturday night, we’re having chili and tater tots. Mike is in charge of the drop cloth necessary for each time one of us smacks a tot out of the other’s hand.
The last time I went to Sonic (heck, it might be the last time I had tater tots, but I won’t swear to that) was when I had mono almost three years ago. I got some kind of fancy beverage and tater tots. And then I went home and threw it all up. You can see why we’re not going to Sonic for our tots, but making them at home instead. Nice try, Sonic. We like your commercial, but not enough to erase the memory of that awful afternoon.

You should not blame Sonic for your mono. [Dangit. Now you've flung a Sonic craving on me. Thanks a lot, Kari! ;)]

I had already been diagnosed with mono by the time we went to Sonic. We went there on the way home from the doctor’s office, if I remember correctly. I don’t even actually blame them for the puking. But I still don’t want to go back there.

I LOVE the guy’s face when he gets his tot knocked out of his hands.
Glad to hear this commercial has other fans than just us!

The best part is the screen shot with the words over it… his face is priceless. So funny.

there’s a sonic being built a few miles from my house. i’m very anxious for it to open, i’ll be able to ride my bike down and get a cream pie shake and tater tots!
last time i ate sonic was last time i went up to fairview. i ordered a cream pie shake, and it was sleeting, so the girl brings it and says “isn’t it a little cold for this?” its NEVER too cold for a cream pie shake!

Wait a second, tater tots are a form of french fries!
