Couple left devastated after opening pack of crisps to find only air inside

Two crisp lovers have been left in a state of disbelief after picking up a pack of crisps only to find it completely empty.

Naomi Mulumbala and her partner Ralph were both getting ready to stick something on Netflix while relaxing in their south London flat, however, they decided to pick up a quick bag of crisps to make the evening even better.

IT engineer Ralph, 31, then popped down to their local Tesco Express to grab a six-pack of Walkers Prawn Cocktail crisps. It wasn’t until the pair tucked in though that they discovered that one bag was full of air, and another had just one crisp in it.

Naomi told the Mirror: "It had just been April fool's day so for a bit we were convinced this must've been one of Walkers' promotions, but it must've been some ridiculous mistake.

"People always jokingly complain about the crisp and air ratio in Walkers' packets but this was taking it to an extreme. We had Netflix on and whilst Ralph went to get us a snack, he started shouting my name, saying I won't believe this.

"He started shaking the bag and there was one crisp in there, so I started filming and when we saw one singular crisp we were in stitches.

"When we got the second packet that was just air, we started thinking this must be a joke right? It was too good not to post online."

While the pair both admit they love crisps as a snack, this incident has unfortunately left them with some trust issues when it comes to picking up a pack of Walkers again.

Ralph continued: "The next day I picked up a bag of quavers, I wasn't risking it again.

"It's left me with trust issues with my favourite flavour of crisp. When I picked up the bag of air, I was over it, it had gone too far."

The Mirror approached Walkers for comment but have not yet responded.
