“This factory, belonging to Britain’s largest crisp manufacturer, Walkers, is the biggest crisp factory in the world. It processes 800 tonnes of potatoes a day. It has six, 200m-long production lines, each of which turns out three tonnes of crisps an hour. That’s maybe 120,000 small 25g packets. Per hour. Times six. And this is only one of Walkers’s seven UK crisp plants. Between them, they produce 10m packets a day, satisfying just under half this country’s appetite for potato chips.”
