the-BA : Low fat crisps

There’s a woman in Chicago who has a collection of more than 4,000 crisps – each one resembling a celebrity. Crisp-a-like lover Nadine Lumford, says her most prized possession is her “Jesus crisp”. She also has the inevitable Elvis crisp, as well as Princess Diana and Communist Karl Marx. According to Nadine, there’s a celebrity crisp in every packet; you just have to look hard. I assume she didn’t find her Elvis crisp in a low-fat packet. I also assume she has a vivid imagination.
