## Story

The drive-in chain launched its Banana Collection nationwide Monday, featuring four drinks and frozen treats, including the return of the Banana Pudding Shake and three new menu items.

The Banana Pudding Shake features banana pudding-flavored soft serve blended with vanilla wafer cookie crumbles and topped with more cookie pieces, whipped topping and a cherry.

SONIC is extending the flavor into another frozen favorite with the Banana Pudding Blast, which combines banana pudding-flavored soft serve with vanilla wafer cookie crumbles and an additional layer of crumbles on top.

The Banana Dirty Dr Pepper puts a new spin on the dirty soda trend, mixing Dr Pepper with real banana flavor and cream.

Rounding out the lineup is the Banana Pudding Cream Slush, which blends creamy vanilla soft serve with an icy banana pudding slush.

The launch comes as banana has emerged as a major flavor trend in 2026, appearing across restaurant menus and other food and beverage categories.

SONIC is also marking the transition from summer to fall with a campaign it calls “Hotumn,” referring to the stretch when warm temperatures and iced drink weather overlap with consumers’ appetite for fall flavors.
