Although the solar eclipse today, April 8th, will last only about four minutes and 28 seconds, this celestial event inspires days of deals, freebies and discounts on good food, drinks, snacks and even solar eclipse glasses.
From Texas to Maine, "totality" — or when the moon completely blocks the sun — will cross 15 states. Locations along the path of the eclipse are among those looking to cash in on the frenzy.
