- Sonic Drive-In introduces the Blackout Slush Float to celebrate the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, offering customers a unique way to mark the event.
- The new drink will be available nationwide at participating locations, with a portion of sales occurring in areas directly in the path of the solar eclipse.
- Customers purchasing the Blackout Slush Float before April 8 will receive free solar eclipse viewing glasses, approved for short-term direct observation of the sun.

- The 2024 solar eclipse coincides with peak solar activity, promising an especially visible corona and a potentially larger appearance of the moon due to its closer proximity to Earth.
