    Potato skins, potato cakes

    Hash browns, and instant flakes

    Baked or boiled or french fried

    There’s no kind you haven’t tried

    Woah, You planned a trip to Idaho

    Just to watch potatoes grow

    I understand how you must feel

    I can’t deny they’ve got appeal

    You like them whether they are plain or they’re stuffed, oh yeah

    Better face the facts, it seems you can’t get enough

    You know, you’re gonna have to face it You’re addicted to spuds

    Your greasy hands, your salty lips

    Looks like you found the chips

    Your belly aches, your teeth grind

    Some tator tots would blow your mind

    And you don’t mind if they’re not cooked

    You need your fix, I guess you’re hooked

    And late at night you always dream

    Of bacon bits and sour cream

    Whoah, you like them even if they’re lumpy or tough, oh yeah

    Whee, It’s pretty obvious to me you can’t get enough

    You know you’re gonna have to face it You’re addicted to spuds

      When i was in college, we put a bag of potatoes in a drawer and forgot about them. When we eventually opened it, we had to open every door and window in the house to disperse the swarm of flies that emerged.

    I realized that my life had changed when I got excited that we were having potatoes with dinner.

    Thank god they are so delicious and useful that they are used quickly. It’s amazing how something so wonderful can become a Lovecraftian horrror when forgotten.

      I never really gardened before, but recently tried to grow a sweet potato from the “slips” aka the Tentacles of an Elder God.

      It does work.

      However, I forgot about the “seed” sweet potato that I left in a cup of dirt after I cut off the slips I needed to make more.

      It has grown roots and is forming its own ecosystem. Im concerned of what could pass through from the other side…

    Does anybody else have an early childhood memory of being so hungry, and slightly neglected, the only thing in the dark kitchen pantry was a bag of raw potatoes, and long story short, you definitely know what raw potatoes taste like?

      Yes. But I kinda liked them.

      I have a friend that(as kids) had some kind of phobia about biting a raw potato so I used to make her gag by eating one in front of her in the kitchen. Good times.

    I unironically listened to the show’s parody for “Hold Up” for like a week straight on repeat. Titus is love. Titus is life.
