And not The Avengers movie either, though that’s a good guess.   In fact it was a potato chip. Last April, Frito-Lay’s Facebook page got over 1.5 million new “likes” in one day. That’s a lot of instantaneous fans. And maybe it’s not such a mind-blowing number if you look at the mind-blowing new flavors capturing the attention of chip fans worldwide.
