12 chains and companies with special deals to celebrate the solar eclipse
Chiquita
As the solar eclipse draws near, restaurant chains and other companies are ready to cash in on the rare event.
Companies including Krispy Kreme, Warby Parker, and Denny's are offering eclipse-themed new menu items and deals in the days leading up to August 21.
It doesn't matter if the companies have nothing to do with astronomy — everyone is eager to find some kind of connection to the solar eclipse.
Here are 12 of the best and most bizarre solar eclipse deals that have been announced so far:
Dairy Queen
Starting on Monday, August 21, the fast-food chain is debuting a buy-one, get-one Blizzard deal. The two Blizzards for the price of one will cost just 99 cents.
"We love any excuse to celebrate with our fans," Maria Hokanson, American Dairy Queen Corporation's executive vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "What better way to watch the eclipse or enjoy the last lazy days of summer than with a Blizzard BOGO?"
The deal will last until Sunday, September 3.
Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme will debut the first-ever chocolate version of the chain's iconic original glazed doughnut to celebrate the solar eclipse.
The doughnut will launch on Monday, August 21, the same day as the solar eclipse. However, customers can purchase the limited-time offering prior to its official debut during evening Hot Light hours on August 19 and 20.
DoorDash
The delivery startup is giving away free Half Moon Cookies between 2 and 4 p.m. local time in cities where it operates, including New York City, the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Boston, and Washington, D.C.
All you have to do is open the app and click on "The Eclipse Cookie Store," and the service will deliver a cookie to you for free.
