He has a son called "chip"

[Mad Madam Mimm]

Man changes names to 'Monster Munch'
A plumber who feasts on crisps three times a day has commemorated his obsession by deed poll.



Rex Features
Chris Hunt, 26, has changed his name to Mr Monster Munch after a dare by friends.

Mr Hunt, or Mr Munch as he is now officially called, enjoys a packet of pickled onion Monster Munch for breakfast, a roast beef Monster Munch sandwich for lunch, and a bag of Flamin' Hot Monster Munch for his dinner.

"I just can't get enough of them," the Daily Telegraph reported Mr Munch as saying. "I love all the flavours, but admit roast beef is a particular favourite.

"I used to just eat three bags of roast beef a day, but I decided I needed a bit of variety in my life, so now I vary the flavours between breakfast, lunch and dinner."

Mr Munch changed his name without consulting Walkers, who make the snack. His fondness for the corn snack has stretched to conceiving recipes that include Monster Munch in rice and pasta dishes.

But he was quick to silence anyone who thought of mocking his lifestyle choices. "Don't knock it until you've tried it," he insisted. "Everybody secretly loves crisp sandwiches, which I have for lunch.

"The only thing I've not figured out yet is how to have my Monster Munch for breakfast. I've tried pouring milk on them, but they go soggy too quickly and on toast they are a bit dry. I'm sure I'll figure something out, though; maybe they would be good in a fry-up."

Mr Munch is careful to offset his penchant for by running five miles a day and going to the gym three times a week.

"I make sure I eat a balanced diet. I just don't want to give up Monster Munch. I loved them when I was a lad and when they brought out the new retro packs I must admit my heart skipped a beat.

Paul Sanderson, a friend, said: "Chris has always been a bit crazy, but this is taking things a bit too far - even for him. I'll call him Monster, though, because that's his name and that's what he wants - and I suppose it is a bit more interesting than boring Chris Hunt."


My reaction- why not just call him "chrisp"?

[Darkobra]

Seems his friend has a chip on his shoulder.

Up next: Monster heart attack!

[CtMolloy]

Hahaha.

I wish I knew a guy called monster

[Lyinginbedmon]

Hahaha.

I wish I knew a guy called monster

I knew a girl called Monster. New a guy called "Trekkie" too, he loved Star Trek (Naturally).

They didn't get along, Kate was a bit of a prude.

[Metcarfre]

On a more important note; you English have roast-beef-(and, to a lesser extent, pickled onion)-flavoured chips [crisps]? DO WANT!

[elvor]

You would not believe the variety of crisp flavours that exist in our country.

[Metcarfre]

Well, we already have roast turkey, buffalo wing, and bacon, so I find it odd we don't have the full gamut of meat-flavoured potato chips.

[Cake]

Silly British. Calling chips "crisps" and fries "chips."

I encourage you to read the top sentence:

This article is about the word 'chips' as used throughout the English speaking world except North America.

[Metcarfre]

Don't... don't start that again. I still have a limp from last time.

"The only thing I've not figured out yet is how to have my Monster Munch for breakfast. I've tried pouring milk on them, but they go soggy too quickly and on toast they are a bit dry. I'm sure I'll figure something out, though; maybe they would be good in a fry-up."

That's some kind of awesome, right there.

[Katie]

I can't imagine how disgusting Monster Munch and milk would taste. Or I can, I just don't want to. It's just ... unnatural.

Though crisp sandwiches are awesome.

[2stepz]

... scrambled eggs, sausage, cheese, and "crisps" in a scrambler... I can see that.

[InsaneFool]

All wrapped into a tortilla to make the world's best Breakfast Burrito.

[Annchan]

So Monster munch is a brand of crisp?

[Theremin]

Do we have a picture of this guy?
I'm willing to bet he has chins on his chins...

[Cade Antilles]

Is there a hefty fee for legally changing one's name? There should be. It might deter more people from giving themselves extremely stupid names.

And the fact that this guy did it on a dare proves how stupid of a human he really is.

[Mister Fiend]

Hahaha.

Can you guess what song I'm humming to myself now?
This is nowhere near as stupid as the guy who got breast implants because someone bet him $100,000 he wouldn't do it.

Makes me wish I could still find Herr's Dill Pickle potato chips, those things were win on a sandwich.

[Darkobra]

I think we had chocolate and chili crisps here for a while. And cajun squirrel. And builder's breakfast. What else was there? Needless to say, I avoided each and every one. I MEAN, SQUIRREL!

[Matt]

Oh shit, dude could legitimately make a 'monster mash'. And given his dietary choices, it could even be an actual graveyard smash.

They were all dreadful, trust me.

I was working in the store late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For Monster Munch from his bed began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

He was an exceptionally hungry beast
He prepared a roast beef and potato feast
What I saw when it went between his lips
It was made entirely of crisps!

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

...and I gave up interest even trying after this point. Yeah...

Or not. He is surprisingly svelte for a man who eats that magnitude of crisps at every meal...

Huh, guess you can have your pickled onion cake and eat it.
