The internet has spoken as Monster Munch 'monster vs claw' debate settled

People across the UK having been arguing over this for years.

Not a divisive question and no it's not the correct way to put toilet roll on a holder - it's all over a much-loved snack.

An online debate has been raging over whether the popular- snack is in the shape of a monster or a claw - as it looks like both depending on which way up you look at them.

However snack giant Walkers has finally confirmed that Monster Munch will officially be claw-shaped moving forwards reports Leicestershire Live.

More than 60,000 Brits voted in a Twitter poll to determine whether the snacks are claws or monsters. Fans were then asked to decide on the “official” via Twitter - putting an end to the debate once and for all.

Walkers launched the poll last month after unveiling special edition ‘Monster’ packs, containing new ‘monster’ shapes, alongside ‘claw’ packs, containing the original shaped snacks.

The company revealed that the ‘claw’ emerged victorious, receiving a huge 74 per cent of the votes from UK crisp lovers and will be the new 'official' shape.

Will Robinson at Walkers Snacks said: “Claw or monster is a debate that has continued to divide British opinion as much as whether or not you put jam or cream on your scone first.

“Therefore we felt it was only right to settle the debate once and for all, through launching our ‘Monster’ and ‘Claw’ shaped packs and asking the fans to decide – and now they have spoken.

“So moving forwards it won’t be open to debate – they are officially ‘claw’ shaped forevermore. Or until our innovation team gets restless, at least.”

In addition to generating 60,489 votes, the poll received almost a quarter of a million (220,000) likes, comments and shares from excited fans, as well as several hundred posts using the trending hashtag #NewMonsterMunch.
