SQUIRREL ALERT: Cajun Squirrel-Flavored Chips

Yes, you read that correctly, though translated into British it would read "Cajun squirrel-flavoured crisps." The Telegraph has the story:
    Crisps that taste of chilli and chocolate, onion bhaji and even Cajun squirrel will be unleashed on the public as part of a Walkers competition to find a new flavour.

    Walkers launched its Do Us A Flavour campaign last July, challenging members of the public to think up a unique flavour of crisp ...

    ... Cajun squirrel is the wacky flavour created by Martyn Wright, 26, the only man to have made the final six.

    The online marketer, who lives in Hednesford, Staffordshire, was inspired to enter when he saw squirrel on a restaurant menu and he believes the public will be so intrigued that they will have to buy a pack.

    He said: "This gentle Cajun flavouring will be delicious for the public and although the idea might sound bizarre, it really works."

Mr. Wright, do these contain real squirrels?
    "No squirrels were harmed in the making of these crisps!"
Dang.

(Thanks for the news tip, Dad!)
