A physics professor in the United Kingdom found a potato inside a bag of his chips and the mere sight left the social media users baffled.
According to a foreign news agency, Snack lovers usually complain about having too much air and less quantity of chips in a bag but the idea of a potato instead of the crisps is out of the blue.
The man, identified as Dr David Boyce, found a whole potato in the bag of Kettle Chips and was perplexed by the sight.
He took to the micro-blogging social media application Twitter to show the world what he had come across.
“So I opened a bag of Kettle Chips today to find no crisps. Just a whole potato,” he tweeted.

Speaking with a foreign news agency, Bryce said that he could not register what happened at first.
“My mind went completely blank,” he was quoted saying in the report. “At first, I thought ‘How is this even in here?’ and then I thought ‘what a champion, this little guy is a survivor – the little potato that refused to be crisp.”
“I thought about scanning it and making a 3D print of it to incorporate it into a statue, reminding me of the glorious moment when I discovered it. Not the greatest moment in my scientific career, but I’ll take what I can get these days,” he added.
Here’s how social media reacted to it.
A lifetime supply of @kettlechipsUK I should think! 😁

In expensive restaurants this is called a “deconstructed” kettle chip
