Why has it taken so long for this to become a thing?
There are few combinations in life as heavenly as the pairing of a foamy, cold pint and a packet of crisps. Be it cheese and onion, salt and vinegar, smoky bacon or your humble champion ready salted, the savoury crunch washed down by a cold gulp is unrivalled in the realm of ‘simple joys’.
If your mouth is already beginning to water, you’ll throw your hands up in the air when you hear what we have to tell you next.
A UK pub chain has just launched a ‘Bottomless Crunch’ offering, where you can stuff your face with as many crisps as you can manage in the space of an hour and a half.
Challenge accepted we hear you say!
Craft Union Pubs have introduced the offer as part of their Euros matchday rollout. The franchise boasts over 500 establishments across the UK, and the offer will remain available up until 14 July, when the Euros final takes place.
For just £5 per person or £12 for a table of 4, you can watch Southgate and his Three Lions struggle through the remainder of the tournament while tucking into as many packets of crisps you can manage to wolf down before the final whistle.
If this sounds like an offer you want to avail of, you can find your nearest Craft Union Pub here.
As you would expect, a TikTok user has turned the ‘Bottomless Crunch’ into a challenge, and posted their attempt at inhaling as many crisps as possible in an hour and a half on the social media platform.
People have now been weighing in with just how many crisps they reckon they could neck in the lengthy timeframe and, all we’ll say is, there are a lot of confident people out there.
One person commented: “Say no more, I could eat like 100 bags in 90 mins.”
