On a white crisp bag, below the Walker's logo, a grey squirrel peeks through a wooden fence, with an expression of equal parts dubious caution and resigned fear, next to a green "Vote for Me!" ribbon

Walker's Cajun Squirrel Crisps (2009-2009) Part of the UK's "Do Us a Flavour" contest, these novelty potato crisps featured a spicy Cajun and mild umami seasoning. The ingredients on the bag listed the flavor blend as "Squirrel Seasoning". Bags noted that they contained "no actual squirrel"

This is a technique I’ve used for years because of this one tweet from @sonnyross.bsky.social. Thank you Sonny for changing my life

The book cover was designed by Talia Abramson at Penguin but they let me have a bit of a say over the colours. And I said boy do I have an idea….
