A POT Noodle-crazed dad shows off his prized collection of more than 600 lids.

He failed to win a TV, but now has over 600 Pot Noodle fool lids

But he kept scoffing them and now has 631 foil lids, though it could have been more.

He said: “They were such a treat as a kid, and I’ve never got sick of them.

“I remember how much I wanted to hit 100 lids, and I was gutted when I didn’t get there in time.

“I probably got to 100 around the late 90s, but by then it was a habit.

“My three teenagers have eaten plenty too, but this is my collection. They know they can’t put their lids here.”

Finance worker Malcolm, of Accrington, Lancs, said a third are Bombay Badboys but his favourite was Posh Noodle, out briefly in 2003.

“Partner Liz, 44, was shocked to find them all in a cupboard after moving in.

She said: “I’ve probably tossed a few of the lids in the bin over the years, but that was before I knew he had a collection.

“Every man needs a hobby, and I’ll take this over a home brewery.”
