Meet the Pot Noodle superfan who has munched through more than 4,000 of the snacks in his lifetime – and even eats some which are 14 YEARS out of date.Dad-of-three Dean Pugh, 53, has dined out on the popular snack every day for nearly a decade.He’s spent more than £3,000 on memorabilia dedicated to his favourite meal including three vending machines and a Chicken Korma pot signed by 90s model Caprice.Plasterer Dean loves the classic Chicken and Mushroom flavour, but also has a soft spot for the Bombay Bad Boy.He scours the web for unopened pots of discontinued flavours, like Mac and Cheese and Brazilian BBQ Steak, and has over 50 different varieties in his kitchen cupboard.The fanatic recently bought a new vending machine from eBay for £500 which plays tunes while it cooks his noodles.He was delighted to see it still contained 14-year out-of-date Beef and Tomato snacks which he happily tucked into to raise money for charity.Dean, from Pershore, Worcestershire, said: “They tasted awful. I could only imagine licking the bottom of my granny’s knicker drawer. “There is no real way to describe the taste – you’d have to try one yourself! “My friend said ‘try the juice’ as a joke, and next thing you know we were nearly throwing up everywhere. “We’re probably ill now – we’ve probably started the noodle virus!”** This content is being managed by SWNS.
