Moon Pie

A little creative analogy comparing the moon covering the sun to a boxing match. The Moon Pie 2024 Total Eclipse Survival Kit comes with 2 eclipse glasses in addition to the regular chocolates they sell.

Blue Moon

Again, a name too good to pass this opportunity by without making some noise. They had a giveaway to one lucky winner of enough free beer to last them for 20 years - until the 2044 total solar eclipse. They also sold a Solar Eclipse Kit with glow in the dark glasses, flashlights, and edible moon dust ✨ - to brighten your eclipse-watching party.

Pizza Hut

A designer had fun here!

(Also, can we talk about how cheap non-Kosher 🍕 pizza is?!)

Smoothie King

Cuz who doesn't want free stuff?

(I would have but Berry Blitz on the same line and moved Smoothie down to accommodate it, having 3 lines of text but at least it would read correctly)

Also note how the logo is not only not "bigger" but even difficult to read 🤩.

It cleverly highlights Cleveland's best features, while also highlighting its unique position for watching the eclipse.
