This is a Walker's crisps factory in Leicester. Its factory has a density-based sorting system so all the potatoes come in and the machine automatically knows the stuff that has the right density to be a potato that can be turned into a crisp — but it just turns out the density of golf balls is exactly the same.

Arthur Scargle would be proud. Quavers, is it true? I'm looking at you, Richard, when I asked this, is it made of the leftovers from potatoes which have not made it into crisps? Basically it's the starch that gets, the Walker's factory has a log flume that the potatoes all go down. Right. Which watches out some of their starch. They all get their photo taken.

They've not been cooked. Yes. They're potatoes covered in oil. Wow. This is the best idea anyone's ever had. Is this why we never hear about a fire in a Walker's crisps factory? Sorry, Dan, I completely interrupted. It's pre-1997 handover Hong Kong air is what we had. What they did in Hong Kong was they canned pre-the British air, as it were, in Hong Kong. Wow. During the handover, lots of parties, that was there present to a lot of people that went to them.

When they've extruded their pouches, the scientists literally grab it and they squeeze it, and you can actually get it out like that. Yeah. That, I think, is a worse job. than being the crisp tester at Walker's hanging outside of Mirat's nest with a cotton bud just waiting. This came to light, I think probably Andy, you read this, they've done a new study about the bacteria in Mirat Bottoms.

Yep, and a second one. The way I've celebrated our 200th episode is by making a mistake. Yep, last week's episode, there was an incorrect fact in it. We recorded the show live in Leicester and my fact was about how the Walker's Crisp Factory can't tell the difference between golf balls. and crisps. After we recorded this show, someone came up to me. He was called Greg Hilliard.
