Brit makes the 'world's biggest' crisp advent calendar with a shocking 18,000 calories

A man has made a 10ft crisp advent calendar that has a whopping 18,000 calories in total.

The giant calendar can only be opened with a ladder and also has £100 cheques behind five doors which winners can donate to a charity of their choice.

It was made by Skelmersdale signwriting company Envision Media due to their company director's love of building big festive treats, reports LancashireLive.

Last year director Andy Phillips, 42, made the world's biggest selection box a 2.4m long treat with 84 sweets and 80,000 calories.

He's inviting customers and suppliers to come to their HQ in Skelmersdale, to open a door.

Andy reckons its the world's biggest crisp advent calendar.

He said: "I’ve never been a big fan of chocolate, and those who know me will know about my crisp obsession.

"I've always said I would love to have a crisp advent calendar, so this year, the team made my dreams come true!

"Every Christmas, we produce a novelty oversized confectionery item to reflect our large format print offering.

"We've previously created a giant Toblerone which needed a hacksaw to chop up, and last year, we made the world's biggest selection box which raised £3,296 for Alder Hey Children's Charity.

"This year, we wanted to do something even bigger and better."
