McCain Foods in the UK has stuck Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi’s face on a bag of potato smiles after the Scottish star joked he looked like the popular snack.
McCain’s photoshopped an image of Capaldi on to a bag and then posted the image online. The word “smiles” has been replaced with “LewiSmiles” and the hilarious post was captioned “Some spud you loved” in a reference to his hit song “Someone you love”.
Speaking on the Capital FM Breakfast Show on Tuesday morning, Capaldi had listeners in hysterics when he said: “I get that I look like a potato smiley a lot. Do you think it’s nice to be told you look like a potato snack?
“It’s a horrible thing to be told.”
This echoes a tweet he posted back on March 20 when he uploaded an image of himself smiling much like the face on the potato product.
Twitter users loved the McCain’s mock-up, including @_chloeh who wrote: “My life is complete.”
@gavwid1 joked: “Supper sorted for the moro night.”
@Tammileigh3 commented: “Canny wait to dip ye in some ketchup.”
@emscorner said: “Please be real.”
However, one user, @swaaan, noticed a slight flaw in the McCain’s comeback by saying: “Missed a trick not captioning it ‘some spuddy you loved’. Disappointed.”
Lewis Capaldi has risen to fame in recent months following his chart success with “Someone You Loved” which reached number one.
