BIG POTATO

Post by Rkolter »

So, I ate a 20oz potato yesterday. It was delicious. It was also very, very large. The store has this box of these mutant giant white potatos. I bought five and they weighed over eight pounds. They were cheaper than regular potatos, I guess because nobody ever thinks they'd eat one. A regular "jumbo" potato is about 1/3 this size.

Last year I ate the king of the onion people - a 2lb white onion.

So... uhm... I've got nothing. I just thought it was an interesting anecdote.

That sounds an awful lot like the random mutant strawberry i ate the other day. It was almost as big as my fist. Seriously, what the hell chemicals are going into my foods these days?

Hey yeah! About ten years ago I got a "pint" of strawberries with ONE strawberry in it. It looks like it'd eaten the others - it took twelve bites to eat.

My parents and I make chocolate covered strawberries alot. We've had some times that there were two massive strawberries in the pack, in addition to the other ones. Biggest one we've had was about the size of my palm.

I'd really rather not have to think about what chemicals are in food until my offspring start popping out with mutant super powers :twisted: Till that day, I'll enjoy the chemical laced fruits. With chocolate.

Remember the old cartoons where scientists solved world hunger by making food giant and plentiful? That happened, but some crazy people freaked out and started calling it Frankenfood. Now they run around Africa telling people it's better to starve to death than eat it.

Also, watch out for corn. It's a man-made mutant grass straight from the labs of ancient South American mad scientists. The original Frankenfood.
