For less than five minutes, a few lucky snack lovers will have the opportunity to get their hands on limited edition solar eclipse-inspired SunChips for free.
The brand, produced by Frito-Lay, is partnering with astronaut and researcher Kellie Gerardi to bring a unique flavor to fans: Solar Eclipse Limited-Edition Pineapple Habanero and Black Bean Spicy Gouda, the company shared in a recent press release.
You will only have 4 minutes and 27 seconds (estimated duration of the solar eclipse’s totality) to get your hands on the chips, according to the release. NASA reports the longest duration of totality to be 4 minutes, 28 seconds, the agency’s website says.
