Lots of people won't get the message. I expect that many will end up with damaged eyes and there will be enormous lawsuits against those who sold them.

WildWest, We've got the flip-up style that you can "stack" the lenses! We've got a #9 and a #5 , stacked. Tested them a day or so ago at around high noon....seemed to work well. memtb

I remember Back in '79 it was well advertised to use a roll of B&W film. Pull the film out, let it expose in the sun; cut in 8 or 9 inch lengths, 24 exposure is enough to put across several people's face. Something about the silver coating on BW film is what does the filtering. Google can elaborate.
My wife and I did it. Looked at the sun many times during the eclipse and before and after just cause the sun looked so cool. Neither of us are blind.
