New crisps could make mum a millionaire

Postby metaltony on Thu May 07, 2009 2:06 pm

I wish i had thought of this,a simple idea...
A Derbyshire mum could become a millionaire - after coming up with the idea for Britain's favourite new crisp flavour.
Emma Rushin, 27, from Belper, came up with bacon, buttered toast, eggs and tomato - which she called Builder's Breakfast.
And she won £50,000 - and one per cent of all future sales - after it won crisp makers Walkers' Do us a Flavour contest.
TV chef Heston Blumenthal chose six finalists and the flavours went on sale in January - and Emma's proved the most popular.
Walkers says she'll earn £57,000 a year if they sell like BBQ crisps - but 'substantially more' if they're as popular as cheese & onion.
Emma said: "I'm thrilled. I'm going to buy a house, go on holiday and just get myself some nice things.
"I've always wanted to be a midwife and this could be my chance to do that. The reason I've not done it before was always money - I've got two young kids and I've always needed a wage.

"But now I might not even need to work again."
More than a million Brits voted for their favourite flavour in the contest, with 232,336 going for Builder's Breakfast.
Onion bhaji was second, then fish & chips, crispy duck & hoisin, cajun squirrel and chilli & chocolate.

I seem to remember they made a vanilla Monster Munch once. That was weird.

As if this will be as popular as BBQ...

Still a total cash-in though, for doing basically nothing!

I tried Cajun Squirrel, Fish and Chips and Builders Breakfast - they were all gash.
Royster's T-Bone Steak are the best crisps ever.

T-Bone Steak are amazing, you're right - it's pretty hard to beat good old Flame Grilled Steak McCoy's though.

I liked the fish & chips and onion bhaji ones. Chilli and Choc tasted cheap, as did the cajun squirrel

Also, there's no way it's going to make her a "millionaire"!
