A woman was left stunned after she opened a packet of crisps from Greggs and found an entire potato inside. Lucy Benyon bought the £1.20 bag of Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar crisps on her lunch break.
But the 34-year-old accounts manager got more than she bargained for as she peered inside the bag. She found something rather oddly looking at the bottom of the packet. There, sat beneath the crisps, was an entire spud that had been packaged up in the bag.
Lucy says she burst out laughing. She showed her colleagues and her boss, who were also left entertained by the discovery. Despite it causing the office to be in hysterics, the smell and dampness of the bag was rather concerning.
She contacted Greggs customer service to inform them about the mystery spud. Lucy has now been offered a £15 voucher from the beloved bakery. She bought the pack from the Bolton Gate retail park branch in Greater Manchester.
Lucy, of Bury - who works for NWCE, said: “Everyone has said ‘Luce it could only happen to you’ because I’m so fussy with food. Genuinely didn’t suspect anything as I was rushing and it was pouring down. “I opened the bag in front of my work colleagues who were just as surprised as me.
I was with my girlfriend at the time and ran to show her and my bosses who were hysterical. “It was 100% inside and it was very soft, smelly and wet. I’ve emailed Greggs who have confirmed my potato incident and I am waiting on a reply from them.
A lifetime supply of crisp would be gr.
