Doritos offers $20,000 to Australian teen who found rare ‘Puffy Chip’ in nacho Pack

Your big fortune may be in a bag of chips. At least it was for a 13-year-old from Australia. Dorito paid her $20,000 for finding a puffy Dorito. Here’s what happened.

Aussie teen finds the perfect chip, a puffy Dorito

“I found a puff Dorito. Is this valuable or should I just eat it?” said Rylee Stuart on her viral TikTok video. The teen was munching on a packet of Doritos when she came across a chip that looked like a puffed-up triangular pillow. The teen was about to eat it but, decided it might be worth something. She posted her unique chip on TikTok asking for feedback on what to do with it. The teen’s followers asked her to put it on eBay. Soon, the chip went on eBay with a starting bid of a measly $0.99. The TikTok entry blew up with over 6 million views.

Imagine Stuart’s surprise when the eBay ad blew up!. Moreover, it also caught the eye of Vandita Pandey, the Chief Marketing Officer of Doritos. “It’s been a whirlwind couple of days for Rylee and her family and we’ve loved following her story. We’ve been so impressed with Rylee’s boldness and entrepreneurial spirit, so we wanted to make sure the Stuart family were rewarded for their creativity and love for Doritos,” said Pandey. The firm also offered her an award of $20,000.

New meaning to ‘cashing in your chips’

Since the funky chip has made the news, Rylee’s father started teasing her that he will contest for the ownership of the ‘golden ticket.’ “Dad is saying that since he bought the packet, it’s his chip. But I ate the packet and found it, so I believe it is mine” said the gleeful teen.

After all, possession is nine-tenths of the law so, there will surely be no disputes. However, the rare chip finds surely gives the phrase ‘cashing in your chips’ a brand literal meaning.
