A gobsmacked dad discovered a completely white bag of Walkers crisps in his selection box, and instantly thought the unusual find could be worth £100,000.
Graham Kirby, from Southampton, was heading off to work as a carpenter when he grabbed a bag of crisps before setting off. He couldn't believe what he found while rummaging through the packets.
The all-white bag made him elated, as he immediately thought it might be a winning packet from a Walkers' crisp competition, but sadly his dreams were shattered.
Graham was gutted to learn that the pale bag of roast chicken crisps was simply a printing area, and that he hadn't bagged himself a small fortune after all.
He thought he had stumbled across something huge (Kennedy News and Media)Graham said: "I opened my cupboard and saw that, it was quite surreal. I've never seen anything like this before.

"I thought 'I've got a white bag of crisps here, does this mean anything?'.
"I showed it to my wife and said 'what do you reckon to this? I've got a white bag of crisps here, [is it] worth a load of money?' It would be nice if it was worth £100,000."
Sadly, it turned out the bizarre packet was nothing special and was all down to a design fault that left it looking lighter.
Walkers' most recent competition, which encouraged customers to find heart-shaped crisps in their packets to be in the chance of winning £100,000, ended in March. While the pale packet is unusual, it doesn't appear to quality for any competition winner.
Graham and his wife found the white packet in a 20 pack selection box (Kennedy News and Media)Graham added: "I then thought it was a special flavour. They're supposed to be roast chicken, that's normally a yellow-orangey colour packaging. I'm assuming it's a printing error," said Graham.
Since finding the unusual pack of crisps, Graham decided against taking them to work.
"I was going to take them that morning and I thought 'you know what I won't'," Graham added.
"Because I'm a carpenter I put loads of stuff in my van. I thought they might get broken or the bag might pop.
"I didn't want to damage the bag or the contents, I kept it for the novelty value."
