Swiney strikes again

I really wanted to enter the Smiths 'Do us a flavour' competition.... after all, potato chips are one of my favourite foods in the world (only beaten by chocolate and ice-cream).

I'd been trying to think of a really yummy flavour for a little while, and then kept promptly forgetting to enter, until last Sunday which was the final day of the competition. I logged on to the website to find that I not only had to enter my flavour (Roasted Pork Crackling), but also an image to go with it.

Panic set in..... I was out of time to create an image and my brain was on a go slow, so I couldn't even think of anything.... until a little lightbulb moment. Could Swiney help me to win?

I figured that Pork = Swine
I also figured that the Swine Flu Epidemic = Lots of extra publicity
But, do the judges have a sense of humour?
But, would Smiths want their product associated with the Swine Flu?

I have no idea, so I'll just have to wait and see.....

I hope that they at least get a laugh out of it!

    LOVE your idea - both for the flavour and the image! I want to enter that competition too ... I'm thinking of Sausage & Onion ....

    What an excellent flavour - I hope you win. I want to eat those chips!

    I am having a laugh thinking about a bunch of foodies trying to identify swiney!

    Your flavour sounds terrific. I entered myself with Mango Chicken and a picture of one of my chickies! I guess we have to wait for months now to find out how we did!

    I trust, for maximum impact, you provided the full description of all Swiney's impressively viral parts? And you can bet your bottom dollar it would make for one memorable chippy experience...

    I don't know about the judges, but I had a little chuckle. Sounds yummy.

    Swiney really is a man for all occasions. I think they could have a deal wehre you collect enough barcodes and send in for a swiney!

    Cam, you're a card!
    And boy oh boy, you've done so much Swiney 'advertising', I feel embarassed. Ok, ok, I feel chuffed. Nice to get some mileage out of a silly idea.
