Sonic
Tim’s take
He lists Sonic among the worst fast food in America, dwelling on the pineapple upside-down master blast shake as an example of food that isn't even enjoyable, just poison people pay for 37:47 49:56. He returns to it later as the go-to image for spon-con culture, imagining Sonic executives realizing an obese man eating in his car is actually good for business 27:46.
Sonic also anchors his fair-wages bit: he prank calls a real Sonic, gets an employee to confirm $5/hr for cashiers plus tips and $11 for cooks, and does the math to sarcastically declare this generous given the free soda and ice cream 11:49 17:53. That bit sits inside a larger routine about Inspire Brands buying up Sonic, Buffalo Wild Wings, and Jimmy John's, contrasting the CEO's self-made myth with workers he insists have no vision 5:36 10:00.
