Who's excited for Monday?! Said no one ever — except for when that Monday promises not only a total solar eclipse (i.e., when the moon passes over and completely covers the sun for a few magical moments), but also a slew of food freebies in celebration. According to NASA, August 21st will mark the "first total solar eclipse visible in the continental United States in 38 years." In honor of the occasion restaurants, bakeries, and fast food chains are offering deals, steals, and a few new flavor offerings.
So, instead of letting Sunday scaries get the best of us this weekend, let's get prepped and pumped for an eclipse-viewing bonanza — complete with free half moon cookies, $4 unlimited mooncakes, BOGO Blizzards, and more. Check them all out below!
