Solar Eclipse 2026 LIVE as incredible celestial display peaks over Greater Manchester
Breaking news guys, the sales of colanders are UP.
John Lewis said colander sales have increased nearly 40% compared to last year, as Nasa recommends the kitchen item as a way to watch the eclipse by viewing the shadows it casts on the ground.
A spokesperson said: “Colander sales have surged nearly 40% compared to last year, as shoppers prepare for tonight’s eclipse. We’ve still got plenty of stock for anyone wanting to view this solar phenomenon safely, and, unlike eclipse glasses, you can use it to strain your spaghetti for dinner afterwards.”
I do love that there’s potentially people out there who have never owned a colander before but decided the eclipse markes the perfect occasion to invest. Think of all the pasta you can drain now!
