Overview
- Johnnie Norman planned a surprise for his wife Rachel’s 30th birthday in December 2018 by asking hotel staff to place 30 sealed packets of crisps on their bed.
- Hotel staff misunderstood the request and opened the packets, scattering the crisps across the bed like confetti, shocking the couple upon their return.
- Rachel, a self-proclaimed crisp enthusiast from Accrington, initially thought they were victims of a bizarre break-in but found the situation hilarious after Johnnie explained.
- The Grand Hotel in Blackpool replaced the bedding and provided the couple with a voucher for another night's stay as an apology for the mix-up.
- Years later, the couple still laugh about the incident, which remains one of their favorite memories, though Johnnie has refrained from attempting further romantic stunts.
