Last Month, Lay's decided to run a contest whereby users could submit in a contest the name of a name flavor. They dubbed it "do us a flavor"

Thanks to the internet, this crowdsourcing attempt at feedback backfired in a beautiful way that ended up being delightful and awesome

Another instance of crowdsourcing gone wrong? Mountain Dew's Dub the Dew... This was their actual unmodified leaderboard, undoctored

Has something like this ever worked the way the company expected it to? Are the decision makers at Fortune 500 companies just completely unfamiliar with the internet?

I suggested Waiting for Godot. The flavor descriptor I gave was "existential dread".

I have legitimate flavor ideas but refuse to sign in through facebook. Stupid.

So what happens in the end? Do they ignore all the cheeky ones and go for the first "safe" idea which may be 20th on the list? How does the spokesman word it in a way that doesn't just discredit what is clearly pppular opinions?? SO MANY QUESTIONS AND 3 CHIPS LATER MY THINKING BAG IS TOO CLOSE TO EMPTY TO EVEN BEGIN PONDERING
