Lay’s recently announced four finalists of their “Do Us A Flavor” contest. After thousands and thousands of submissions for out of the ordinary and U.S. regional-specific flavors — it’s been narrowed down to Southern Biscuits & Gravy, New York Reuben, Wavy West Coast Truffle Fries and Kettle Cooked Greektown Gyro.
Now, it’s up to the people to decide which chip reigns supreme, and they can vote here starting July 27th. Then we just need to know how they made a potato chip taste like a gyro. I assume sorcery.

The project is a win-win… Dad gets his coffee, and the kids are granted enough superpowers to help brush their teeth and get dressed. Check out more below and over at Curran’s Instagram.

To help promote her new variety of Special K cereal, British TV personality Tess Daly and Kellogg’s created a dress made entirely of the cereal’s ingredients.
The Cereal Dress was created using 4,000 stalks of wheat, 500 whole almonds, 800 cut almonds, 50 vanilla pods, 50 vanilla flowers, 450 whole apples, and 100 curled apple peels, preserved peels, and apple slices.
Pass the milk, and let’s enjoy this breakfast couture.
