Frito-Lay, the snack division of PepsiCo Inc., is announcing today, July 16, 2014, the four finalists for its second annual “Do Us a Flavor” contest in the U.S..
The contest gives people a chance to create a new potato chip that is sold nationally and win $1 million.
According to news sources, one of the four finalists will be the cappuccino-flavoured chips. The other three finalists are Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese, Mango Salsa and Wasabi Ginger.
Frito-Lay says the four flavours are expected to start hitting shelves in late July. People will then be able to vote online for their favourite through Oct. 18.
Frito-Lay is trying to keep up with changing tastes, with its ever-evolving line-up of potato chips now including several Hispanic flavours.
Later this month, it also plans to roll out Lay’s Stax chips in a Korean barbecue flavour and Lay’s Stax in Thai Sweet Chili flavour.
