Help me out here, because this is pretty clearly not correct:

"only during the 4 minutes and 27 seconds that the moon's shadow is passing over the United States"
"In all, the moon's shadow will take about four minutes and 27 seconds to pass across the U.S."

The moon's shadow will be covering any one spot in the USA for a maximum of 4m27s... but the shadow passing over the entire USA will take about 67 minutes in total.

I really dont want to miss out on my chance for limited edition sun chips so can someone please help explain what the process actually is?

Umm... who wrote this article, and how did they get hired? The eclipse is not 4 1/2 minutes. Totality in any given location is about 4 1/2 minutes, but the eclipse is almost 3 hours long from start to finish in any given centerline location, and the total event across it's entire path is even longer.
