We all know that Sonic doesn’t play with various drinks on their menu, but they want to be more iconic than ever.

The Birth of The Paris and Nicole Beverages
Now, let’s drive at Hilton and Richie’s creative process in creating the drinks. In the accompanying campaign, the girls visit a Sonic to order their custom drinks, and they realize that the drinks need a name. While drinking, they had a hilarious brainstorming session as Hilton and Richie attempted to create an iconic name for the drinks. This was until they realized that there was nothing more iconic than Paris and Nicole, which they settled in.
Hilton reminisced about the day she had her first job at Sonic, saying that she and Richie had “ a long history” with the brand. Richie added that they had a blast partnering up with SONIC and bringing the drinks that reflect their personalities to life. When they thought of what was truly iconic, it was clear that it was Paris and Nicole.
Ryan Dickerson, Chief Marketing Officer of Sonic, was excited to collaborate with Hilton and Richie. They were happy that they were able to offer a fun and memorable experience to them. Dickerson added that it was a no-brainer that they selected the girls to bring the iconic drink to life as they have been a part of pop culture and Sonic’s history, making them true SONIC fans.
Pop culture enthusiasts, expect the ad campaign featuring Hilton and Richie to air across multiple platforms like streaming, social media, and digital channels. The high-energy vibe will bring back nostalgic memories of when Hilton and Richie first entered Sonic back in 2003, but of course, with a fresh and modern twist through sips.

From The Club
When I saw the names of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, I immediately ate the whole concept! I’m a fan of these two amazing ladies, and sometimes I watch reality TV shows where they star. All of these take me back to the early 2000s, when hot pink princesses with a mix of Y2K style aesthetics were the norm! Sonic and these princesses go way back, giving me major nostalgia on their Simple Life days. Looks like I’ll be getting these drinks while I watch re-runs of Simple Life. 🤣
