We're sure it started as a joke at first, but now we have to live with the consequences. From late July through October, this year's round of test flavors for Lay's Do Us a Flavor contest will make their way to stores, assaulting Instagram feeds and tastebuds with such infuriatingly intriguing novelties as Cheddar Bacon Mac & Cheese, Mango Salsa, Wasabi Ginger, and, yes, Cappuccino. Ugh, you can't just, like, not try them.

Like last year, the four finalists were chosen from crowd submissions over the past few months, and the winner will receive either $1 million, or one percent of the winning flavor's sales, whichever is higher. Unlike last year, the new test flavors will also be available in different varieties of Lay's chip: "Kettle Cooked" for the Wasabi Ginger and "Wavy" for the Mango Salsa.

Also, if last year's competition was any indication, we can expect 1) it'll be super-difficult to find all four flavors, 2) only two of the flavors will taste anything like they're supposed to, and 3) the most boring one will win. Here's looking at you, Mango Salsa.
