Sonic Pickle Slush is a fluorescent yellow-green beverage that tastes like dill pickle juice, salt, and a regular sweet slushie.
It made its debut in June 2018 and instantly became famous for its unusual flavor. However, it was discontinued later in 2018, after a short period. It has been re-released multiple times since then due to popular demand.
Sonic has a pickle-forward menu consisting of items like Pickle Fries and Big Dill Cheeseburger. These are limited-time items and make a comeback every time pickle slushy is re-released.

Sonic Pickle Juice Slush Review
Sonic pickle slush has mixed reviews. In the beginning, it became famous for its uniqueness. However, when it reached the true pickle-lover community, they were not very satisfied with this innovation.
They said that it just tastes weird and is not exactly like pickle juice. When you take the first sip, you taste something unique, but as you take more sips, the pickle slush starts feeling like a regular slush – a sweet, icy drink.
People believe that the drink should have more pickle juice or flavoring to make it taste like what it actually claims to be. Its color should also be dark forest green rather than yellow-green.
