Labelled as "cucumbers for giants", Morrisons is selling "wonky", misshapen cucumbers for 41 pence (53 cents) for a limited time only. The store will also make a one-off donation to Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity.

As the notorious and much-beloved Big Friendly Giant once said, "Here is the repulsant snozzcumber! I squoggle it! I mispise it! I dispunge it! But because I is refusing to gobble up human beans like the other giants, I must spend my life guzzling up icky-poo snozzcumbers instead."

Bon appétit!
