The Squirrel Takeover Begins or WTF?


A while back a british chip (or crisps) manufacturer put out a call for new flavors and it appears they have a winner. My squirrel bias is well known and I am now the harbinger of your doom sent to warn the world from all that is worng with WALKERS CAJUN SQUIRREL CRISPS. Squirrel crisps today and squirrel candy tomorrow. And once we get the narcotic taste for them they sqeeze us for our cash and our women with their ability to be hoes.

"Irked by cheese and onion? Dispirited by prawn cocktail? Bored with ready-salted? Well, why not reach for a bag of Cajun squirrel-flavoured crisps? Or perhaps you'd like to try chilli and chocolate. From today, jaded snackers will be able to choose from six wacky new crisp flavours –which also include crispy duck, onion bhaji, fish and chips and builder's breakfast – following a competition the snack giant Walkers organised to find a 21st century rival to our old favourites. The most popular pack will go into full-time production after a public vote ends in May. About 1.2 million would-be food technologists submitted entries to the competition that consisted of a flavour and a picture that best summed it up.The six finalists – who attended a ceremony in London last night – will each receive £10,000. The winner will receive £50,000 and annual royalties of 1 per cent on sales of their flavour, meaning they may be able to retire on their winnings; 1 per cent of sales of BBQ flavour crisps amounts to £57,000 a year, according to Freud Communications, Walkers' PR agency."
