This spring Pringles ran the biggest contest in the history of Tongal and paid out $45,000 in prize money.  Pringles picked 16 winning videos and featured them in a campain they called the “Tournament of Flavors.”  Facebook Fans were asked to vote for their favorite flavor-themed shorts until just one submission was left standing.  Here’s the video that won the tournament:
 

 
That was pretty cool.  But that video didn’t actually win he contest.  The “tournament” was just kind of for fun.  Voters had the chance to win prizes but the filmmakers didn’t win anything in the facebook poll.  Pringles picked their winners on Tongal before the tournament was even launched.  Ten videos earned $50o, four got $1,000 and then the top five were award prizes ranging from $2,000 to $12,500.  The above video came in 3rd and the director (hey, it was the same guy that made this great Hoverboard video and this amazing Duct Tape video) won $3,000.  Here’s the video that won the actual contest:
 
First Place Winner.  Prize:  $12,500:

 
Man, I really liked that one.  It was very well made and felt so genuine despite the absurd subject matter.  Actually, almost all of the 16 winners are pretty well done.  Some people really went all out and did incredibly elaborate submissions.  You can see all the winning videos right .  But be warned: watching all 16 of these videos will probably make you want to eat some pringles as soon as possible.  Damn I wish I had  tube of Sour cream and onion right now.
