Anything sun, moon, or space themed would work, but these are some quick and easy treats to pick up and enjoy:

• Sun Chips
• Milky Way
• Capri Sun
• Starbursts
• Eclipse Gum
• Moon Pie
• Starry
• Sonic Blackout Slush Float

The eclipse will start in the Hub City at 12:18 p.m., reaching maximum coverage at 1:35 p.m. It will then slowly lose coverage until the eclipse completely ends at 2:55 p.m.

The next Eclipse like this one wont happen for another 20+ years, so this is a great chance to see something you don't typically experience.

If you don't have eclipse glasses, you might be able to run to one of the following places and grab a pair, but many are likely already sold out.

• The Science Spectrum is having a viewing party at 2579 S. Loop 289 and are selling glasses for $2.99 a pair in their gift shop
• H-E-B located at 4405 114th Street is selling eclipse glasses
• Home Depot is selling eclipse glasses by the self-checkout register
• United Supermarkets will sell eclipse glasses at all its stores retailing for $2
• Sonic is still selling their Blackout Slush Float that comes with a pair of eclipse glasses for $3.99
