Chris Hunt, a plumber, starts the day with packet of pickled onion Monster Munch, has a roast beef Monster Munch sandwich for lunch and a Flamin' Hot flavour bag for dinner.  The 26-year-old finally changed his name by deed poll after being dared to by friends.

Mr Munch, of Evington, Leicestershire, said: "I don't think they thought I would go through with it - but now I demand to be called either 'Monster' or 'Mr Munch'."  He is so obsessed with the corn snack that he has even devised recipes to include Monster Munch in rice and pasta dishes.

"I just can't get enough of them. I love all the flavours, but admit roast beef is a particular favourite," he said.  "Don't knock it until you've tried it - everybody secretly loves crisp sandwiches, which I have for lunch.  I know it's a bit extreme, but I make sure I eat a balanced diet and I run 35 miles a week and train in the gym three times a week."

My dear old Mum would have said... "if your friends dared you to jump off the roof would you have done that?"

Why did I think that Mr Cheesy Wotsit was a good idea?
