Have you heard about the Facebook page dedicated to the restoration of Wasabi Funyuns? The Walkie Talkie blog hopes it receives thousands of "likes," and hopes even more fervently Frito-Lay will bring them back. Sure, regular Funyuns are awesome; portable, shelf-stable onion rings is an invention right up there with the creation of the vacuum cleaner. And the concept of adding a light dusting - albeit uneven layer - of pale green wasabi powder to them brought tears to our eyes, both figuratively and literally.

Speaking of Frito-Lay, Army and Air Force Exchange Service shoppers will have a shot at winning a $1,000 shopping spree this summer courtesy of the Exchange and Pepsi/Frito Lay. From now through July 25, shoppers can enter at any Exchange store for the chance to win one of 15 $1,000 gift cards redeemable at any Exchange store or online at www.shopmyexchange.com.
