Yep, Sonic does, as does Steak-n-Shake. But, the 'shakes' at both
places are still not the 'real' thing - close, though! I used to ask
for extra malt, but since the main ingredients were poor imitations, the
result was left wanting. Not to mention, the 'jerk' at the machines
usually are too quick to worry about quality (sigh). Ah well,
live-n-learn, eh!
