It's also interesting what they will and won't allow in the explanation section. In mean, this was apparently appropriate by their standards:

I was going to name one "Disney™" but apparently they decided to ban that word for some reason.

They just removed my "Busted Nut" and "Seminal Fluid" flavors and scolded me via email.

No, it's just a robo-email. Unfortunately, they didn't take the time to point out specifically what was wrong:

quote:

We can't accept your flavor for the following reasons:

Any third-party that would require prior clearance, including but not limited to:
Competitive brand names mentioned by consumers or said brands (outside of approved brand mentions) Restaurant names
Celebrities, athletes, musicians or artists
Sports teams or organizations
TV shows, networks
Movies, studios
Songs, lyrics
Anything trademarked
Politically incorrect, politically polarizing or culturally insensitive references
Profanity or vulgarity and references to illegal activities

But these two are okay:

"Goatse" isn't allowed, unfortunately. "Tubgirl" is, but unfortunately there's no good graphic to go with it:

Got sent an email after the Tubgirl one, so I guess someone caught it. But this one seems pretty straightforward:

I just jumbled up a bunch of Russian phrases on Google translate, put a picture of borsch on it, and for some reason it got deleted.

Dammit..I was so close to a good joke. Anyway, here it is:







Yes, "Meconium" is actually not filtered. I got an email for it and they deleted it, but still...WHY IS THAT NOT FILTERED?

I'm all for being banned from suggesting Lay's Potato Chip flavors under the condition that they write an email telling me how they feel.

I came up with a flavor called "Corn Hole Surprise" that actually got accepted. I wrote a big detailed description about how it was the first chip to taste like, and contain, corn products. But I was SUPER sincere sounding and I just got this email saying that it had officially been accepted:



This is what it looks like:

I've had a bunch more that were rejected, but I'm more interested in the ones that were accepted, like these. "Indra Nooyi" is the name of their CEO, for the record.

I can't get past how vile this image looks. Even if you just called it Chicken Fried Steak it would still look like lumpy opaque jizz.

The website is getting better about not letting people take snapshots of joke flavors, unfortunately. I had like, ten more that got removed before I could link to them.




On the other hand, one of the flavors (briefly) slipped past their screeners so I got this confirmation email:
