What's your flavourite?

The Boy was lured to an online competition today by an advert he found on a packet of Lays potato chips - Do us a flavor.  Chance to win a million $$!  He's been having no end of fun with it, all day.

Basically you get to come up with a new flavour for crisps.  You pick up to three ingredients to go in it, justify its existence in 140 characters or less, then set it free on the internet and see if anyone Likes it.

He started out with Chocolate Chilli (3 likes).  Then (apoplectic with laughter) he tried to enter Roadkill - but it wasn't allowed. A screening message popped up querying what his mom would think of that idea (actually, she'd suggested it).

His most popular (6 likes) effort, devised with his buddy, has been American Burger - it conveniently combines the flavours of hamburger, cheese and French fries.  No-one seems to fancy the Break-up Chip (garlic, onion and garlic) or the exotic Florida Favorite (orange, tequila and alligator).  But Hillbilly Squirrel has had at least one like (and would surely have had more if he'd left out the mustard).

In other news, two quiet but intense members of the household had an Othello face-off today.

  1. TMarshmallow, marzipan, mausoleum ad nauseam. What plans does boy have for his squillions? Keep the chuckles bursting out please.
    Is there a world league of Othello playing soft toys?
