BAY AREA (Bay News 9) -- America's drive-in will thank customers Saturday with Free Cherry Limeade Day.

Company officials say participating Sonic Drive-In locations plan to give away free 14 oz. Cherry Limeades or 14 oz. Diet Cherry Limeades from 2 - 5 p.m.

"We truly appreciate our customers, and are excited to celebrate them with free Cherry Limeades," said Dane Martin, Tampa-area SONIC Drive-In co-op president. "We invite everyone to visit their local Tampa drive-in to enjoy a free sweet and nostalgic drink."

Sonic Drive-In started out as a hamburger and root beer stand in 1953 in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

Back then, it was called Top Hat Drive-In.

The name was officially changed to Sonic Drive-In a few years later in 1959.
