    A man was left gobsmacked after he found the world’s ‘longest’ Hula Hoop measuring up at 4.72 inches.

    Adam Potter, 28, was shocked to find the massive salt and vinegar savoury snack while taking a break working from home.

    The crisp lover has even emailed KP Snacks to suggest they start selling ‘Hoola Tubes’ as they would be ‘perfect for dipping’.

    Adam plans to keep the crisp in an air-tight container until he decides to eat it and is open to auctioning off the mega crisp.

    Adam’s discovery trumps the previous world record of a 4-inch hoop found in August 2021.

    Adam, an old school desserts business owner, said: ‘I was having a break whilst I was baking some chocolate concrete, I opened the packet and was confused.

    ‘It really threw me for the day, I ran upstairs to tell my wife but she was in a meeting – I had to hold my excitement but she was well amazed.

    ‘I have contacted KP Snacks and said they should bring them out and call them Hula Tubes, they would be perfect for dipping.’

    Adam’s special hoop was within a Big Hoops packet he bought on December 19th.

    Sam said crisps are his favourite snack and he was shocked by the discovery.

    He said: ‘Crisps are always my go to, they are easy to pick up out of the cupboard.

    ‘I thought I would take some pictures and eat it but I still have it in a box with the wrapper.

    ‘I think I might put it on eBay, like I said I am going to keep it in an air-tight container so it will be good to eat when the time comes.’

    Rowan Umland from Peckham, south London, found a 3.7-inch hoop in May 2021.

    Sam Lightfoot, from Barrow-in-Furness, discovered a whopping 4inch in August 2021 which he calls his greatest achievement.
