The contest was having people pick flavors for a new flavor of chips over at frito lay and they have already picked the three flavors to choose from.

While I believe Sriracha will win because it's fing awesome, and they say if the other flavors sell well they will keep them around, I will ask you to vote for garlic bread because it turns out the person that submitted that flavor is someone I knew.

It turns out to be the wife of the boss where I worked at for my first job when I was in high school at a restaurant / resort in Wisconsin near the Michigan border for a few summers as they usually have a lot of employees from local schools that work there during summer.

My mother and a few Aunts even worked there when they were young as my sister did for one summer as it's been around for awhile.

So far she has won $50,000, if her flavor is selected as the winner she will win 1 million dollars, and has had a few trips with one to Texas and it sounds like some company officials will be ringing the New York stock bell on Monday when they announce them and she is getting flown out there.

A website with more information about the contest and where you can vote starting on Tuesday it sounds like when they release the bags, the facebook page / texting / and on twitter:

***Update***

So the places to vote as it has opened are below:

Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/lays?filter=1
The app link they make you use sadly: https://apps.facebook.com/dousaflavor

With twitter using the following hashtag: #SaveGarlicBread

And the website says something about texting but I don't see anything about it from Lay's website yet so I will have to make sure it's correct but the websites say: By texting "VOTE" to 24477

And here is a updated story with the finalist names and a quote or two:

And finally here is a coupon code they posted for $1 off of one of these 3 bag flavors:

Garlic bread is the only one that doesn't look disgusting. If I knew how to vote for it, I'd vote for that. Your link doesn't take me to a place I can vote.

Voting starts when they officially release the bags on Tuesday it sounds like and I updated the post there so I will have to remember to link them when it opens.
 
Chicken waffle should be the only fucking option! Garlic is in everything already! And there's way too many hot/spicy flavor chip flavors on the market!

I hope chicken waffle wins.
 
Chicken and waffles definitely sounds interesting. I'm going to have to try all 3 and see for myself. Assume we get it in Canada too.

I don't know how they are going to combine those flavors in a chip like you can in real food with so much going on.

Why?

I don't eat much of the chips myself other then their awesome scoop chips that work great for chili ( with beans of course )/ bean dip.

They're too big. They buy up shelf space and block out products by smaller makers which are in many cases superior.
 
Garlic bread sounds like the best of the three, but I'd be willing to bet that Sriracha won't be half bad.

So true... and then you look at the sodium and MSG content on the back... D😀😀:



Do they even sell plain ole' 'tater chips anymore??? You know, potato flavored? 😛

If you scour the entire snack aisle carefully you'll find a few. Very few. Those are the only kind I eat, no flavors, no ridges, just salty goodness.
 
on the Canadian site I would like to try:

Spicy Jerk Chicken, clubhouse & fries, Maple Bacon, Italian Sausage and Butter Chicken Poutine.

:awe:
