Jeni's new Punk Stargonaut Collection takes customers on a
fictional flight through a distant galaxy.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- It's been dubbed "the event of a
lifetime." "An astronomical experience like no other." It's
inspired schools to cancel classes and businesses to close early.
This rare celestial event — aka, the total solar eclipse on
April 8 — that will plunge millions
into total darkness in the middle of a Monday afternoon is, in
short, kind of a big deal.
As if the excitement across the country wasn't palpable enough,
starting today Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams is adding an
exclamation point to eclipse season with the release of its latest
collection, Punk Stargonaut — four flavors from a distant
galaxy.
The collection imagines a fictional flight through space, where
they gathered all the alien fruit they could find and then turned
these otherworldly flavors into vibrant ice creams. Like a fragment
of a half-remembered song, every one of Jeni's four
limited-edition ice creams feels familiar but just out of reach —
layered to spark curiosity and keep customers guessing. And to
remind us that we're all made of stars, no matter what planet we
come from.
The four colorful, Punk Stargonaut ice creams inspired by
the cosmos include:
- Nebula Berry — Brand new! A bright and bouncy ice cream that
tastes tart like a blueberry and vibrant like a raspberry with a
beautiful elderflower finish.
- Cosmic Bloom — Brand new! The flavor is a tropical delicacy
— citrusy like a mandarin, refreshing like a kiwi, and punchy like
passion fruit.
- Purple Star Born — Brand new!
Jeni's first-ever grape ice cream! Intensely juicy with Concord
grape and puckery blackcurrants.
- Supermoon — The revival of a customer favorite! It tastes
like candied violet and marshmallows — a combination reminiscent of
marshmallow cereal milk.
The Punk Stargonaut Collection is available in Jeni's scoop
shops nationwide and online beginning today, March 28.
In addition, Jeni's has also released a special topping,
Space Dust—a fizzy popping candy that adds another dimension to all
of its flavors. Space Dust is available as a topping in shops and
also in take-home bags in scoop shops and online with the
collection.
What's more: Order the Punk Stargonaut Collection online by
April 3 and receive four pairs of
ISO-certified eclipse glasses in your shipment. In scoop shops
starting Friday, April 5, customers
can receive a pair of Jeni's brand eclipse glasses free with
purchase, while supplies last.
After the eclipse, Jeni's is celebrating the celestial
event with free Space Dust all day long on Monday, April 8.
