SunChips releasing new flavor, but only for 5 minutes during the total solar eclipse

Chances are the new SunChips flavor will be gone in seconds.

WASHINGTON — SunChips is cooking up something special for the total solar eclipse, but you'll have to act very fast.  

The snack brand is giving away limited-edition bags of a Pineapple Habanero and Black Bean Spicy Gouda flavor, but only for 4 minutes and 27 seconds - a nod to the longest time in totality some cities will see during the April eclipse. 

The announcement describes the flavor as blending "ingredients reminiscent of sunny skies and bright days ahead while nodding to the moon with a cheesy touch." 

Starting at 1:33 p.m. Central Time (2:33 p.m. ET/11:33 a.m. PT) on April 8, you can sign up to get the new flavor at SunChipsSolarEclipse.com, while supplies last. And those supplies are extremely limited. 

According to the official rules posted on the website, only the first 100 people who submit entries will win the limited-edition flavor (along with two beach towels, a tote bag and two stickers). The company also confirmed in an email that just 100 bags are being given away as part of this promotion.
