'I opened bag of Walkers crisps and couldn't believe what was inside'

They say bigger is better when it comes to our portions, and that certainly proved to be the case for one impressed Brit who tucked into a packet of Walkers crisps. So delighted was the snack lover, he took to to show off his find prior to sinking his teeth into it. "This has to be the biggest crisp I've ever seen," he declared in a caption.

"Max Paprika. The second I pulled, I haven't even eaten it yet." Indeed, he went on to showcase his coiled crisp in two snaps - the first showing it was almost the full length of his hand. And to show off further, he pulled out a tape measure to record it's size more accurately - a huge five-and-a-half inches.

People were amused the mad had measured the crisp, as another Reddit user said: "I love the thought of you discovering it and instantly screaming to your wife in the other room "Sandra! Get the tape measure!"

Another person pondered: "If this ever happened to me I'd never recover. It would be like seeing a miracle or a unicorn or something." While a third joked: "I thought I was the only one who carried around a crisp tape measure at all times!"

A fourth hailed: "I love the dedication to documenting this beast; both hand for scale, and a tape measure. Also very impressive crisp. A beautiful specimen."

Whilst a fifth individual added: " is gonna knock on your door and tell you you've won a visit to the crisp factory."

Sadly it appears the man's Max was beaten by that of another Brit by half-an-inch . Mum Jemma Carter from Surrey was getting through a packet of Walkers Roast Chicken flavoured crisps when she hit a snag and could not get one of the crisps out of the packet.

When she shook the packet to set it free, she realised that one of the crisps was huge and six inches long, taking up the whole of her hand. She said: "It's the biggest crisp I've ever seen. When I saw it I just thought 'this is absolutely massive, no-one will believe it's so big'. I'd never seen one that big before."

She added at the time: "My eldest son Robbie said to me 'wow I think you've got a record, you're going to get thousands of pounds for that'.

"I shook it a bit to get it out and I was thinking 'oh my god, what is this?' It was bigger than my hand. It just made me laugh. I thought 'I need to take a picture of this to send to my husband'."
