Sonic Drive-In is offering an unparalleled experience for the upcoming North American Total Solar Eclipse on April 8th, with the introduction of the Blackout Slush Float. This limited-time offering will be available nationwide from March 25th, inviting guests to indulge in an out-of-this-world treat while witnessing the rare celestial event.

In addition to the new beverage, Sonic is providing a special promotion: one free pair of solar eclipse viewing glasses with every Blackout Slush Float purchase. These glasses are designed to offer safe viewing of the eclipse, encouraging fans to make unforgettable memories during this significant occasion.

Unique Flavor Blend and Design

The Blackout Slush Float is more than just a drink; it’s an experience. Combining sweet cotton candy and dragon fruit flavors, the all-black slush represents the darkness of the solar eclipse. It’s crowned with creamy white soft serve and sprinkled with blue and purple galaxy-themed toppings, transporting fans to outer space with every sip.

Mackenzie Gibson, Vice President of Culinary & Menu Innovation at Sonic Drive-In, emphasized the connection between the unique treat and the eclipse, stating, “There are over 400 Sonic locations in areas where the total solar eclipse will be visible, and we thought, what better way to create some fun for our fans as they experience this unique event than by introducing a new treat that’s as awe-inspiring as the eclipse itself?”.

Expert Tips from a Former NASA Astronaut

To enhance the experience, Sonic Drive-In has collaborated with Terry Virts, a former NASA astronaut and International Space Station commander. Virts, a self-proclaimed Sonic superfan, shares his insights on enjoying the total solar eclipse, drawing from his experiences of witnessing an eclipse from space. He reminds everyone that such eclipses are rare, occurring once every one to two decades, making this an event not to be missed.

Virts advises the importance of using proper eye protection for eclipse viewing, emphasizing that the special glasses provided by Sonic are designed to meet international safety standards.

For those looking to enjoy a tasty snack with their Blackout Slush Float, Sonic is offering $1.99 Crispy Tender Wraps until May 5th. The promotion includes two delicious options: Hickory BBQ and Cheesy Baja.

The Blackout Slush Float will be available at participating Sonic locations across the nation from March 25 through May 5th, while supplies last. Prices may vary by location.

Supporting Education Through Enjoyment

Sonic is not just about creating memorable experiences; it’s also about giving back. A portion of all drink sales, including the Blackout Slush Float, supports public education through the Sonic Limeades for Learning initiative. This program has contributed over $27 million to local classrooms since 2009.
