Richard Bootman, 25, ripped open a packet of Snackrite steak and onion crisps only to find a whole potato – and nothing else – inside.
25岁的里奇•布特曼撕开一包Snackrite牌牛排洋葱味薯片,结果发现里面只装了一个完整的土豆。
Speaking with BT.com, the architectural designer from Mildenhall, Suffolk explained: “I picked it up and it was airtight so I didn’t question it. At first I thought it was a ball of soggy crisps. When I realised what it was, everyone in the office laughed.
布特曼是建筑设计师,来自萨福克的米尔登霍尔,他说:“我拿起薯片,里面冲的气鼓鼓的,所以我就没多想。起先,我还以为是薯片受潮了。等我看到里面的东西,办公室的人都哈哈大笑。
Bootman posted images of the potato-filled packet on Twitter, and has ended up seeing his story reach the likes of Russia, India and Taiwan.
布特曼在推特上发了薯片包装里是土豆的照片,然后发现俄罗斯、印度、台湾都有网友跑来点赞。
