Wisconsin Natives Finalists in Frito-Lay Contest
Saturday, February 16th, 2013 -- 9:48 AM
Two Wisconsin natives are competing for a $1 million prize for Frito-Lay's new potato chip flavor.Karen Weber-Mendham of Land O'Lakes came up with cheesy garlic bread. She was inspired by her kid's love of garlic bread whenever the family goes to an Italian restaurant. Also competing is Brookfield native Christina Abu-Judom, who now lives in Phoenix. She chose chicken and waffles as her flavor because her 13 year-old nephew loves them.
The two are among three finalists out of 3.8 million entrants in the Frito-Lay "Do Us a Flavor" contest. Entrants suggested flavors that would be transformed into actual potato chips, packaged and sold to customers.
Voters can go on Facebook, Twitter or text their favorite by May 4th when a winner will be chosen.
