A snack-lover was left stunned after finding a six-inch crisp in his pack from Morrisons – and he plans to keep it in a display case.
Daniel Heginbotham, 44, picked up the massive potato snack from a Morrisons store on the way to work last week.
The auditor had bought the £1 bag for lunch but got peckish around mid-morning so decided to tuck in.
He then opened the 150g pack of the own-brand The Best Sweet Chilli Crisps and discovered the unusual snack.
Mr Heginbotham, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, said: ‘I pulled it out and it kept going – it was a lot longer than I thought it was going to be.
‘So I went and got a tape measure; it was six inches long. I was quite happy – it was the biggest crisp I had ever seen seen.
‘Everybody wants to find a big crisp, don’t they?’
Mr Heginbotham said colleagues then flocked to his desk to marvel at the find – although some were less than impressed.
He said: ‘Some weren’t that interested at all. But I quickly I locked it away, just in case somebody crushed it.

Mr Heginbotham, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, said: ‘I pulled it out and it kept going – it was a lot longer than I thought it was going to be’
‘I think I’m going to put it in a little display case.
‘I’m not saying it’s the biggest ever, but you never know. I had a little look and couldn’t see anything bigger.’
Mr Heginbotham said he usually buys a different flavour from the store in Kirkby-in-Ashfield – but fate took hold on Friday.
He said: ‘I’m not sure why I bought them – I was drawn to them that day.’
Mr Heginbotham’s find still has a way to go to be crowned as the world’s biggest crisp, however.

The record currently stands at a whopping 25 inches by 14 inches, held by a specially-created crisp housed in Idaho in the US.
The oddity was made by a team of food engineers employed by Proctor & Gamble in 1991.
A huge Frazzle was also found by Sean Stewart, 22, in Lanarkshire, Scotland earlier this summer.
