A POT Noodle-crazed dad shows off his prized collection of more than 600 lids.
Malcolm McKnight, 45, started in 1992 when Pot Noodle bosses gave a TV to anyone who had 100.
Then 12, he managed to eat 15 of the dried snacks.
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.”
