A lucky crisp fanatic is laying claim to finding Britain's biggest crisp after munching on a bag of Morrisons own brand sweet chilli.

The a six-inch potato snack was discovered in a 150g pack of Morrisons own-brand The Best Sweet Chilli Crisps and the finder is so chuffed he's going to keep it in a display case.

Daniel Heginbotham, 44, from Mansfield, Notts, picked up a bag of the £1 crisps from a Morrisons on the way to work last week.

The auditor said he bought them for lunch but got peckish around mid-morning so decided to tuck in to the ridged snaped snack.

Recalling the historic find, Daniel 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.

"I'm not saying it's the biggest ever, but you never know. I had a little look and couldn't see anything bigger."

Daniel said he usually buys a different flavour from the store in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, but fate took hold last Friday.

He said: "I'm not sure why I brought them – I was drawn to them that day."

Although impressive the snack lover's find still has a way to go to be crowned as the world's biggest crisp.
