As it turns out, that [mysterious bag of Lay's potato chips][2] with the [FarmVille][3] item offer was no hoax. [Zynga][4] has announced a tasty (and potentially unhealthy) promotion involving Frito-Lay's various bags of chips and FarmVille, [CityVille][5] and [CastleVille][6]. Between March 1 and April 12, fans of all three games can buy bags of five different Frito-Lay products to score exclusive items.
Over 3,400 [Walmarts][7] nationwide (near the checkout lines) will pack special displays of Classic Lay's, Nacho Cheese Doritos, Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles, Crunchy Cheetos and Funyuns. Each bag contains a code for redemption on the Game Card tabs above FarmVille, CityVille and CastleVille. Since each brand contains one item for each game, that's five new items for each and a total of 15 brand new items for Zynga's biggest 'Villes.

If you still think that's not enough snacks to gorge on for an entire month, there are _even more_ items to be had. However, there's a catch. If you input the item codes for a single game from at least four out of five participating brands, and redeem a $15 or $25 Zynga Game Card in said game, you'll receive a "Super Item." So, if you redeem four codes in CastleVille from specially-marked Lay's, Doritos, Funyuns and Ruffles bags as well as a Zynga Game Card, you'll score a Red Knight's Horse.
While Zynga games have [appeared on real-world products][9] before, this looks to be the biggest (and most complicated) promotion yet. Because of this, the developer has created a [dedicated web page][10] for the Frito-Lay event. We know this event is tempting, but just remember to fit in some gym time after gobbling up all of those chips, OK?
**Do you plan on heading to Walmart to get all of the item codes? Do you think you'll go for the Super Items, too? Sound off in the comments. [Add Comment.][11]**
