A Scottish chip shop is offering Britain’s unhealthiest takeaway - a box consisting of fried foods worth nearly 7,000 calories.
The “Crunchy Box” includes chips, two pizza crunches, fish, two sausages, two hamburgers, onion rings, chicken nuggets - all deep fried, for the bargain price of £10.
To quench your thirst from all of the fried foods, the box also comes with a two-litre bottle of Irn-Bru - bringing the total calorie count up to 6,813.
However, despite the outrageously-high calorie count, the shop selling the bargain box, East West Spice, says that people cannot get enough.
According to Bahadur Singh, the manager of the shop in Greenock, Scotland, the response to the high-calorie deep-fried meal has been mostly positive.
Singh also claims that the box, which goes by the name Family Crunchy Box as well, is meant to feed more than one person.
“I just thought it would be nice to combine the ideas and bring something which would appeal to everyone,” he said. “We put the deal on and people seem to love it. Everything is cooked in fat but the dish is big enough for three or four people to share.”
“It’s definitely for the family to eat. People think it’s a great deal,” Singh said.
Despite Singh’s insistence that the crunchy box is for more than one person, people are conflicted over the meal consisting of multiple days' worth of calories.
In 2014, Pizza Hut was criticised by health campaigners after releasing a cheeseburger pizza that contained 3,000 calories.
Others, however, aren’t surprised by the Scottish offering.
“That’s the most Scottish thing I’ve seen,” one person commented on Facebook.
