A woman from England has revealed that she mistakenly ate a heart-shaped potato chip that could have awarded her a massive cash prize.
Dawn Sagar, an Oswestry resident in Shropshire, found the chip, or "crisp" as they say in England, in a bag of Walkers – a British snack food company known for manufacturing potato crisps.
Sagar was unaware that the snack was of value at the time, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. The chip could have made Sagar the winner of the "Heart Shaped Crisp Hunt" – a contest hosted by Walkers.

Or, how about that guy who claimed to have lost the password to hundreds of millions of dollars of virtual currency?
“Woman accidentally eats heart-shaped potato chip worth over $120K: ‘I didn’t realize’”
She should get an X-Ray taken.
This headline almost starts out like my divorce:
“Woman ‘accidently’ eats heart...”
I say almost because mine would read:
“Woman totally on purpose and vengefully eats heart.”
I would likely do the same as this woman.
I intentionally ignore and avoid nearly all commercial advertising.
Unfortunately advertising is so pervasive that it is impossible to totally cut it out of my life.
It was in the bag as a contest. Sorta like Willie wonka but with potato chips. A contest for who could find the heart in one bag of chips for 120K. She was unaware obviously.
She ate her golden ticket.
She was hanging from a branch off a cliff, a tiger was above her on the ledge and nothing but rocks below - and it was the most delicious potato chip she had ever eaten.
Bizarre promotion. Half the chips that I see are broken at the time of opening, so how could the company guarantee their prized chip would even arrive intact?
She sure did. Lol.
All potato chips are vaguely heart-shaped. There are always a few that have weird shapes (unless they are like Pringles which are all precisely uniform).
Who remembers the shape of a chip they ate, anyway?
Lol!
Sorry teacher, I accidently ate my homework
Good Marketing is about all it is. The company does the promotion, still getting free press advertising and they do not have to pay out the $120,000.
Dawn Sagar, apparently.
She ate it on purpose. She just didn’t know there was a prize for finding a heart shaped potato chip.
But if you are not looking at the chips you eat, how would you know you ate this one?
The perfect contest for getting lots of free publicity and never having to pay out a dime in prizes.
Pringles are salted cardboard.
Reminds me a of a old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and the old woman who brought her potato chip collection.
