COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As the nation eagerly anticipates the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams is adding an extra layer of excitement with the launch of its latest collection, Punk Stargonaut — a quartet of otherworldly flavors inspired by the cosmos.
Titled “Punk Stargonaut,” the collection transports ice cream aficionados on a fictional journey through space, where exotic alien fruits are transformed into vibrant ice creams. Each of the four limited-edition flavors promises a taste experience that is simultaneously familiar yet tantalizingly out of reach, designed to ignite curiosity and leave customers guessing. Moreover, the collection aims to remind us of our celestial origins, regardless of our planetary origins.
The four vividly-hued ice creams comprising the Punk Stargonaut collection are as follows:
Nebula Berry — A fresh addition to the lineup, this zesty ice cream boasts a tart blueberry essence with the vibrancy of raspberry, culminating in a delicate elderflower finish.
Cosmic Bloom — This tropical delight combines the tang of mandarin, the refreshment of kiwi, and the punchiness of passion fruit for a flavor experience that’s out of this world.
Purple Star Born — Making its debut as Jeni’s inaugural grape ice cream, this intensely juicy creation melds Concord grape with tangy blackcurrants, offering a flavor profile that’s both bold and invigorating.
Supermoon — Returning by popular demand, this nostalgic favorite evokes the essence of candied violet and marshmallows, reminiscent of the milk left behind after a bowl of marshmallow cereal.
The Punk Stargonaut Collection is now available for purchase at Jeni’s scoop shops nationwide and online, commencing March 28.
In addition to the stellar ice cream lineup, Jeni’s has introduced a celestial-themed topping called Space Dust — a fizzy popping candy that adds an extra dimension to every spoonful. Space Dust is available as a topping in stores and as a take-home option both in scoop shops and online.
Furthermore, customers who order the Punk Stargonaut Collection online by April 3 will receive four pairs of ISO-certified eclipse glasses with their shipment. Meanwhile, in-store patrons can snag a complimentary pair of Jeni’s eclipse glasses with purchase, starting Friday, April 5, while supplies last.
To cap off the celestial celebration, Jeni’s is offering free Space Dust to all patrons on Monday, April 8, in honor of the solar eclipse.
