All the fast food deals to celebrate the solar eclipse 2024
Monday’s Total Solar Eclipse is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Many brands are taking advantage of the event by offering out-of-this-world deals for customers.
Whether you’re in the path of totality and want some food for your eclipse viewing party or if you just want to celebrate, there’s a deal for everyone.
Burger King
Burger King is celebrating the eclipse with BOGO Whoppers all day long.
The deal is exclusive to Royal Perk rewards members, and you have to text ECLIPSE to 251251 to get the offer.
Fans can claim their offer by ordering on the app and online at BK.com through April 15.
Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme has a special sweet treat to celebrate Monday’s solar eclipse.
The doughnut shop is introducing a limited-time, all-new “Total Solar Eclipse Doughnut” — an Original Glazed Doughnut dipped in black chocolate icing, adorned with silver sprinkles, piped with a buttercream made with Oreo pieces and a whole Oreo cookie in the center.
“Eclipses are rare and so is our out-of-this-world Total Solar Eclipse Doughnut. Even if you can’t be in the path of totality you can get in the path of these treats, which you will eat in totality,” Dave Skena, Global Chief Brand Officer for Krispy Kreme, said in a statement.
The out-of-this-world treat can be purchased individually or as a specialty dozen featuring six Total Solar Eclipse doughnuts and six Original Glazed.
Dunkin’
Fans of Dunkin’ can snag a $3 Medium Cold Brew on April 8, when ordering in the Dunkin’ mobile app.
And as the chain pointed out, their Boston Kreme donut looks similar to an eclipse, so you can pretend it’s a solar eclipse donut.
Pizza Hut
It’s Pizza Hut’s Total Eclipse of the Hut.
On April 8, large pizzas at Pizza Hut are just $12. The promotion is valid for carryout, dine-in and delivery, and applies to create-your-own pizzas with up to 10 toppings or recipe pizzas. It includes Thin ‘N Crispy, Hand Tossed Pizza and Original Pan Pizza.
The brand hopes their pizza pies will be the “perfect way to elevate” an eclipse viewing party, with a shape “reminiscent” of the sun and the moon.
Smoothie King
Smoothie King is launching a new smoothie nationwide called the Eclipse Berry Blitz — a blend of bananas, wild blueberries, apple, blueberry juice blend, white grape lemon juice blend, protein blend + blue spirulina.
Anyone who goes to a Smoothie King location within the path of the solar eclipse will also be able to snag a free pair of branded eclipse glasses with the purchase of the eclipse smoothie.
Insomnia Cookies
Anyone who makes a $5 purchase at Insomnia in-store or online on April 8 can get one free classic cookie.
Additionally, the cookie store brought back its limited-edition Moon Cookie Cakes for the eclipse. The crescent-shaped cake is made with your choice of two classic cookie flavors.
Sonic Drive-In
The drive-in has an eclipse-inspired Blackout Slush Float — a black slush base with flavors like cotton candy and dragonfruit, topped with vanilla soft serve and blue and purple “galaxy” sprinkles.
The limited-time will be available through May 5, and Sonic locations within the path of totality will host drive-in viewing parties.
Applebee’s
Through April 14, Applebee’s customers can get the Perfect Eclipse Margarita, a special themed drink for the occasion.
The drink combines Patron Premium Silver Blanco Tequila and Citronge Orange Liqueur with a dash of Monin Blue Raspberry, Passion Fruit, and lemon and lime.
MoonPie
Of course, MoonPie has everything you need for the total solar eclipse.
The Solar Eclipse Survival Kit contains six mini chocolate moon pies — which is apparently all you need!
Snapple
Snapple’s new flavor, Elements Sun, has arrived just in time for the solar eclipse. The drink consists of flavors of starfruit, orange and nectarine.
The drink brand will also have a pop-up on April 8 in New York City at the Lavan event space at 541 W. 25th St.
The Snapple Solar Speakeasy is open to consumers starting at 1:30 p.m. ET.
Perfect Bar
Perfect Bar is going dark for the solar eclipse with its newest product, the Chocolate Brownie.
The Chocolate Brownie Perfect Bar is a blend of freshly ground peanut butter, cashew butter and cocoa, topped with dark chocolate chips.
“Our team at Perfect Snacks is thrilled to be announcing the new Chocolate Brownie Perfect Bar in honor of an iconic moment in time,” Leigh Keith & Co-Founder and Chief of Brand and Mission at Perfect Snacks, said in a statement.
“We’re hoping to captivate consumers’ senses with this dark chocolaty, delicious twist on our Perfect Bars, as they delight in the spectacular moment that will be the Solar Eclipse.”
To celebrate, customers can get 20% off the Chocolate Brownie Perfect Bar through April 12, and on April 8 only, the brand is offering 50% off the Chocolate Brownie Perfect Bar for those in the path of totality of the solar eclipse.
SunChips
SunChips is launching a new item — but it’s only available for the 4 minutes and 27 seconds of the solar eclipse’s duration of totality.
The brand is championing the inspiration behind its name — the sun — with an exclusive, limited-time new flavor mash-up: SunChips Solar Eclipse Limited-Edition Pineapple Habanero and Black Bean Spicy Gouda.
Beginning at 1:33 p.m. CT on April 8, eager fans will have just under five minutes to get their hands on the snack on SunChipsSolarEclipse.com — and there are only 100 available.
The new flavor “blends ingredients reminiscent of sunny skies and bright days ahead while nodding to the moon with a cheesy touch.”
“SunChips draws inspiration from the sun so there’s no better moment to spotlight this snack than during the extraordinary solar eclipse,” Rhasheda Boyd, vice president of marketing at Frito-Lay, said in a statement. “With this exclusive flavor drop, fans who enter for a chance to win their own bag during the moment of totality will have the opportunity to continue celebrating the eclipse even after the rare event is over.”
Blue Moon
Blue Moon is offering a Blue Moon Eclipse Sips kit — without beer.
The set goes for $25 and includes four Blue Moon pint glasses packaged in a glow-in-the-dark box, black light coasters, a flashlight and “moon dust” to make the beer shimmer.
Jeni’s Ice Cream
Jeni’s Ice Cream has a new collection with “flavors from out of this galaxy.”
The Punk Stargonaut collection, launched exclusively for the eclipse, includes four out-of-this-world flavors — Cosmic Bloom, Nebula Berry, Purple Star Born and Supermoon — along with one familiar flavor, Gooey Butter Cake.
Each in-shop scoop comes with Eclipse glasses and on April 8, you can top your ice cream with space dust (popping candy).
7-Eleven
To celebrate the highly anticipated event, 7-Eleven has offerings such as $3 pizza to solar eclipse glasses.
Customers can purchase solar glasses at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores. 7NOW Gold Pass subscribers can also get a whole pizza for just $3 all day on April 8, and subscribers can also add a free pair of solar eclipse glasses with any order, while supplies last.
