Lay's has a contest going on now, "Do us a Flavor" with Eva Longoria and (Iron Chef) Michael Symon, soliciting new flavor ideas for chips. The winner gets $1 million (USD) or 1% of the sales, they have to choose.

Some funky suggestions including "Cajun Squirrel", probably submitted from one of the guys on "Duck Dynasty".
