Smith's Crisps - Do us a fucking flavour?

Smith's Crisps in their "brillance" have decided to get the public to create a new chip flavour and if chosen as a finalist, have the chip put into production and have the public buy, eat and vote on their favourite flavour.

The four finalist "flavours" are:
  • Buttered Popcorn (It's too salty but does taste a bit like popcorn)
  • Caesar Salad (It tastes ok and acutally tasts like salad) - my choice
  • Late Night Kebab (tastes like shite)
  • and BBQ Coat of Arms (tastes way too smokey and shite)
With the voting, it's based on 60% of the vote on sales of the chip flavour and 40% from public voting.

Here's where it's dodgy, you can vote 5 times a day p/person...so how is that a fair vote? Should be able to vote once and that's it!!

For the winner, their flavour will go into full production and be a regular Smith's Crisps flavour, $30,000 cash PLUS 1% of the sales of the chips (this means the net Australian Sales - sales revenue recieved by Smith's of the winning flavour from it's distribution less discounts, allowances and stales) up to a maximum of $200,000 per year commencing from 1/1/2010...

Here is a snap shot of the public voting taken on 27th Nov 2009..



Seems like the Caesar Salad and Late Night Kebab flavours are leading....
