So sometimes, to get to the top, you have to play on your rivals' weaknesses and point them out – It's a fry eat fry world out there, people.

In the latest marketing savagery, Sonic just kicked McDonald's where it hurts.

Oh the shade of it all...Drag them Sonic, drag them.

The irony here, of course, is that you've probably fallen victim to what we'll call "McFlurry Mania" aka when it's 10 pm, you want a McFlurry and the ice cream machine just conveniently happens to be broken.

We've been there, and we're here for you.

So whether you're Team Sonic or are a loyal McLover, there's absolutely no doubt that this entire article had you thinking about a milkshake, ice cream cone or something cold and sweet so in essence, Sonic won.
