I've never been a delivery grocery guy until this recent pandemic and I've had some pretty epiq lols when I order three lbs of bananas and end up with three single bananas, or a a pound of kiwis and receive one. The end.

Fun fact...did you know that Sweet Potatoes are not even a Potato!
They are a root vegetable that belongs to the morning glory family.
also are botanically very distinct from yams as they are sometimes called here

Do we need to set up a Sweet Potato/Root Vegetable thread as I think people clearly think it's ok to talk about sweet potatoes here
do I need to get Kosmo involved!

Do you know what else isn't a potato?  A dog named Potato.  Do we need a separate "Dogs Named Potato" thread?
