Freaky Flavored Chips

Walker's ‘Cajun Squirrel' and ‘Chilli & Chocolate'

— January 12, 2009 — Lifestyle
‘Cajun Squirrel’ and ‘Crispy Duck’ are among the weird new Walker potato chip flavors in the UK as a result of the company’s ‘Do Us a Flavor’ contest held to come up with six new groundbreaking taste sensations for the crisps. The new varieties are on the shelves now and the Walker website is accepting your votes for the winner until May 1.

The other freaky flavors are ‘Fish and Chips,’ ‘Chilli and Chocolate,’ ‘Builder’s Breakfast,’ and ‘Onion Bhaji.’ The inventor whose chip gets the most votes wins a grand prize of £50,000 and 1% of all profits. These six semi-finalists have already won £10,000.

Hopefully we will be able to get a review from one of our UK-based Trend Hunters.
