In February, workers at a Calbee chip factory in Hong Kong uncovered a strange surprise. Tucked away in a shipment of potatoes was a World War One-era hand grenade caked in dirt. The bomb was believed to have come from a field in France where it had been buried, discharged but undetonated. Police were called to the scene to perform a controlled detonation, which they filmed and then posted to Twitter. Calbee says, ¨ I hope the only explosive sounds in the factory will come from popped chip bags¨.
