Solar Eclipse Food Deals at Sonic, Raising Cane's, Krispy Kreme and More

Restaurants and fast food spots are jumping on the solar eclipse bandwagon. Given the weather predictions, there might not be much to look at. We've gathered a few of the more interesting food items that might be worth celebrating the big day with. It's alphabetical, but be sure to check out Zoli's at the bottom; black-out happy hour sounds perfect.

HG Sply Co. Rooftop Drinks

HG Sply Co. is always down for a party, and the rooftop, rain-allowing, will be a perfect spot. They'll have a DJ out, solar eclipse glasses and a drink special: the Lunar Libation made with Mount Gay Eclipse rum, lime, blueberry and ginger beer.

Jeni's Cosmic Ice Cream

Jeni's Ice Cream has made several out-of-this-world cosmic ice creams. Get them all through the Punk Stargonaut Collection for $65, which includes four collectible glasses, five pints of cosmic-themed ice cream and Space Dust.

Krispy Kreme's Eclipse Doughnut

Krispy Kreme played this spectacular little April Fool's joke; on April 1 they posted you could get anything glazed. Any-thing. Fun, huh? Well, that was just a big ol' joke. No joke though, from April 5 through April 8 they're making a Total Solar Eclipse Doughnut — a glazed doughnut dipped in black chocolate icing, dusted with silver sprinkles then a swirl of buttercream piping to glue on an OREO cookie. The Total Solar Eclipse specialty dozen has six glazed and six of the specialty numbers. Good stuff. Be sure to check the website for specific locations with this doughnut.

Moon Pie Survival Kit

Of course, the Moon Pie company is cashing in on the moon's dominance on April 8. Hopefully, you already snagged your 2024 Solar Eclipse Survival Kit with four chocolate mini moon pies and viewing glasses.

Raising Cane's Toastality & 20 Years of Free Food

The beloved Texas-based chicken strip pusher will have an offer for all earthlings in the path of totality on April 8. A whole free Texas toast with every combo purchase. However, the bigger lull might be the Free Cane's for 20 years, which is the time until the next total eclipse. Visit their website on April 8 to enter.

Finally, The Space Gal, Emily Calandreilli, an MIT-engineer turned Emmy-nominated TV host will be at the Raising Cane's at 7345 Gaston Ave., where she'll be bagging orders and chatting about all things outer space. You should go see what's up.

Sonic's Blackout Float

Sonic has an eclipse-inspired Blackout Slush Float with soft serve, "Blackout Slush Flavor" and "Galaxy Sprinkles," which hopefully is something like cosmic Pop Rocks.

Sun Chips Small Window

Sun Chips is releasing a new limited-edition, eclipse-themed flavor: pineapple habanero and black bean spicy gouda, which you can get only on their website — SunChipsSolarEclipse.com — starting at 1:33 p.m. CST, and you can order the snack flavor for only four minutes and 27 seconds.

Susie's Cupcakes

Bakery SusieCakes has a limited amount number of eclipse cupcakes, which come four to a box with two chocolate and two vanilla with buttercream icing and a whole bunch of black sparkly sprinkles. These are only available on April 8 for $21.96. Pick them up at one of their three North Texas locations: Preston Center, Hillside Village or along River Run in Cowtown.
