I think it’s a nice gesture to give the full-sized Russet rather than the fun size new potato.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

With sour cream, chives and bacon bits, a russet potato is a meal all by itself.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (12 children)

Just gobs of butter, salt, and pepper are all I need.

Ironically, the spud is absurdly more expensive than giving candy.

It is like a dollar each, but the smiles on kids faces as they walk home with the beginnings of a stew are priceless

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (9 children)

A dollar each? It's $3.50 for a 10lb bag here

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

What could a potato cost, 10 dollars?

What potatoes you buying are they gold encrusted?

Where I am you can basically get them by the crate load. I have no idea what one individual potato cost because I've never bought one individual potato. But my estimate would be about three for a dollar. Big ones like in the photo not little tiny ones.

Also don't get no ones in plastic wrapping they're more expensive and they're not any better. Just wash your vegetables. The mud and flavour admittedly it's mud flavour.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are wrapped in plastic? Don't they usually come in some sort of netting and or loose and you can get as many as you like in a cloth bag?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Usually the ones individually wrapped in plastic are being sold as microwaveable.

I guess we'll just ignore the fact that you don't need to wrap a potato in plastic to microwave it successfully.

β€˜It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost, $10?’

No way that can be true, how much for a kg of potatoes where you live

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

In the Philippines they're around 4$/kg where I live, and they're not even really nice potatoes.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I need to check my potato privilege. They're less than 1€/kg here

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Vegetables are oddly over priced there, in general.

Even most fruit. Mangos though... Mangos, rice, beer and rum. Everything you need!

This trick only works so long as only one house in the neighborhood does it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Obligatory: Po-tay-toes! Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew…

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

I have confirmed the results of this experiment. Some kids asked "what is this?" then took it once I told them it was a potato.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

My folks have a sign on the door saying, "potato available upon request" and they run out of them every year.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Makes sense, potatoes are basically the candy of the vegetable world. Just a giant ball of starchy carbs.

With the wrong crowd that potato goes through a neighbor's window and this experiment is over going forward.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Anyone who can't be trusted with a potato is going to cause issues regardless

As if that'd just stop any kid picking up any random rock off the ground.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They should have IOU as an option, they use this IOU to claim more chocolate next holloween. Teaching kids finance while there at it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's great until a few years down the line some kid shows up with a fat stack of them and cleans you of all the candy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Nah, its investing right? You just tell the kid there was a market crash and the IOUs are worthless, then keep the candy for yourself.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this Russian halloween?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Is dream. Potato is rock.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah but the kid question also apparently got a Snickers bar. So their taste is somewhat debatable.

I'd choose the potato as well but that's because I'm an adult and really don't care about candy

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

But Snickers is the manliest chocolate bar because it has nuts.

Did you want to cause a run on potatoes? Because this is how you cause a run on potatoes
