I’m sat here eating the last of the birthday chocolates with my other half, and we've been trying to work out which of the Guylian seashells is the biggest. Not the thinnest or most polite conversation we’ve ever had, but sometimes you need to know these things. I can now gladly impart this knowledge to you, not least because he’s Googled the answer and some random bloke on the internet has not only worked it out by weighing them, he’s also done a film on it.

I won’t do a top 10, but suffice to say, unless you’re a thin person avoid the prawn or the tower shells because they come in at 9 or 10 grams. If you’re a fatty like me or him then go for the clam or the scallop, and if you absolutely must know, coming in at number 1 and weighing a whopping 14grams, is the one that actually is a seashell (in real life) but it looks like a garden snail. (Foreground in the photo – there are none of these left in our box now) *avoids eye contact but having a very nice time*
