2. Easy Being Cheesy After All.
“Lay’s has announced the winner of its “Do Us A Flavor” contest, which pitted three original flavors – cheesy garlic bread, sriracha and chicken and waffles – against one another for the right to join the company’s permanent snack-chip lineup. Cheesy garlic bread, created by Wisconsin native Karen Weber-Mendham, beat them all,” Culture Map Dallas notes.
“For her efforts, Weber-Mendham will receive $1 million or 1 percent of the chip’s sales in 2013, depending on which is higher. But do not cry for the runner-ups; they aren’t going home empty-handed.
“Sriracha creator Tyler Raineri of Illinois and chicken-and-waffle mastermind Christina Abu-Judom of Arizona will both win a cool $50,000. Their chips will make a limited run this summer.”

Weber-Mendham describes herself as a youth librarian superhero, among other things. She likes margaritas and sarcasm.

Tyler Raineri is a junior at Illinois State who hails from Lake Zurich.

We don’t really care about the Arizonan.
