The Potato Thread: Potatoes in the News

[grateful]

More potato rage:

And my question is, how old do they think we are? How old do the people who are selling the potatoes think the people who are buying the potatoes are? Do they think we are children? No they don’t. They know children don’t buy raw potatoes.

Nevertheless, they treat us, you and me, autonomous potato-buying adults, as if we were children to be amused, children to be beguiled, children to be tickled, children to be looked down on as credulous manipulable dupes.

Was hoping to find some Courtney love/potato content...but found this instead by Courtney Casto
The Day I Stopped Eating Potatoes

[sweetcell]

i'm ashamed of you lot, and myself.  we're now on page 11 and we haven't mentioned the modern-day patron saint of potatoes, Penn Jillette.

The Idaho Potato Commission's Tater Team has temporarily suspended its Big Idaho Potato Truck’s cross-country tour due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The 6-ton replica Russet Burbank on a flat-bed truck typically travels the nation, attending events to raise awareness about Idaho potatoes.

We're truly only at the beginning of the precipitous decline in American citizens' awareness of the Idaho potato. How soon will we forget?

And so the rhetoric begins.

"Who ever heard of a Maine potato?", ironically in "The Portland Leader", from Portland, Tennessee.
