A British man obsessed with a particular brand of potato chips has changed his name to share the same moniker as his favorite snack food.

Chris Hunt, 26, legally changed his name by deed poll to Mr. Monster Munch, according to the Telegraph .

Munch, who is a plumber, reportedly eats the snacks for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has come up with recipes that include Monster Munch in rice and pasta dishes.

'I just can't get enough of them," Munch explained. "I just don't want to give up Monster Munch. I loved them when I was a lad and when they brought out the new retro packs I must admit my heart skipped a beat."

Munch said his friends didn't know what to think when he told them of his plan to change his name.

"They looked at me like I was nuts and dared me to change my name," Munch said. "I don't think they thought I would go through with it -- but now I demand to be called either 'Monster' or 'Mr. Munch.'"

People have changed their names over the years for many reasons, often to reflect religious or political beliefs. Last year, an Illinois man by the name of Steve Kreuscher tried to get his name legally changed to "In God We Trust" so he could show how God helped him through some turbulent times in his life. Last month, a Ukrainian man changed his name to Protyvsikh, which means "none of the above," and submitted an application to run for president.
