EVERYONE is partial to a packet of crisps as a snack, in fact, it's usually a staple for many Brits' lunchtime.

But one man has left people feeling queasy after revealing he uses them as an alternative to croutons in soup.

The UK man left people stunned after revealing he used Wotsits as croutons in tomato soup.

Posting to Reddit, the anonymous man asked users to help settle a debate on whether it was awful or genius to replace croutons with the cheesy flavoured crisp.

He wrote: "Settle an argument, Wotsits as a crouton alternative in your tomato soup: awful or genius?"

However, it seemed the feedback didn't help settle the debate with some disgusted by the 'awful' hack and others calling it 'genius' after hearing the reasoning behind it.

Another person added: "Hula hoops will work much better. They stay crunchy for a little while!"
