In honor of the USA Mullet Championships this August, Plano-based Frito-Lay presents the Down for Everything corn chip, embracing the spirit of the iconic hairstyle by giving away 1,000 free mullet cuts throughout the month.
"People express themselves with their hair, and since we're seeing this tremendous resurgence of the mullet hairstyle, we're excited to help people embrace their individuality by making it easier than ever to rock this epic look while enjoying an iconic snack like Fritos," said Tina Mahal, senior vice president of brand marketing at Frito-Lay. "As the brand that's all about authenticity and comfort in being yourself, we're on a mission to help our fans go with the flow — literally — this summer with our Free Fritos Flow Fridays at every Floyd's Barbershop location nationwide."
