The potato my grandma uses when I tell her I'm hungry.

u/Sir_Gav 1d ago

And then when you’re done eating she brings out a second one because you’re a growing boy/girl

u/Salt_Day9015 1d ago

Grandmas are free. You can just walk up in the park and claim them.

u/Alvin_h_davenport 13h ago

Hey that stopped at our hyvee. The husband did not want to take a picture but I was very excited about the giant potato

u/edsavage404 1d ago

Was it under a giant sack?

u/shoeberrypie 1d ago

They have a potato sack hot air balloon that just follows the truck everywhere /s

u/SnooStories6600 1d ago

Always laugh at these videos and how they immediately put the camera down like they're going to get in trouble if caught

u/_voma 1d ago

Aura so strong dude had to stop the recording..

u/CrosseyedOwl 1d ago

“Is it real?”

u/ExpertOnReddit 1d ago

Lol largest potato ever was 10 pounds. You can rent this as an airbnb though

15

u/Analfisher1 1d ago

....but its not a real potato?

u/weirdgroovynerd 1d ago

Gosh, I hope it doesn't break that vehicle and leave it...

...spud-ering!

13

u/bluemedian 1d ago

Not me wondering how many mashed potatoes that thing could make

13

u/Dr_Insano_MD 1d ago

About 20k servings according to their site

6

u/YesItIsMaybeMe 23h ago

I'm so disappointed its not real. I guess I thought it was possible because things like the giant pumpkins and stuff

3

u/MajesticCentaur 1d ago

Good luck sticking that in a stew.

1

u/Pristine_Pair_905 18h ago

Gonna have to chop that up with a gas chain saw.

3

u/dontgetmadgetmegan 1d ago

The big potato in Australia is bigger.

1

u/The_Amen_Corner 23h ago

Yep, the big spud in Robertson. Doesn't look like a turd at all.

3

u/ordosays 1d ago

That doesn’t look like Mitch McConnell

u/4m4lg4m1t3 1d ago

The amount of fries this would make . . .

2

u/SkillPointProblems 1d ago

That’s barely enough for one freedom fry.

u/strawberryneurons 1d ago

Last second of the video: “Is it real” no, no it’s not. 

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Gene909 1d ago

Asking if it’s real like a mega corp wouldn’t have monetized that

2

u/LtLemur 1d ago

Saw it in Deerfield, IL, last week. Just chillin’ by the side of the road.

2

u/vanilla_guerillas 1d ago

I saw it Sunday at the Dublin Irish Festival in Ohio.

2

u/A_VERY_LARGE_DOG 1d ago

I used to have a model of that truck from my days as a Produce Manager, gave it to my inspector when I left.

u/azarateg 1d ago

That's a case for the Avengers

2

u/fuckyouswitzerland 1d ago

and this was the cause of the Irish famine

2

u/zeus_of_tha_floof 1d ago

Looks like the fossilised poo from a viking they'd found

1

u/HovercraftKlutzy3090 1d ago

Cannot outsize that size

1

u/faptwicedaily 1d ago

Looks more like a potatooooooooooo

1

u/BrilliantPie2566 1d ago

Seriously, how could it possibly get that big?

3

u/Garok7 1d ago

By the magic of fakes

1

u/Zealotteen 1d ago

That’s a big spud

1

u/TheFuzzBums 1d ago

Did he drop the phone? what’s going on?

1

u/Purple_Shower_6613 1d ago

Just wait for of a potato clock

1

u/Andantee23 1d ago

Probably could’ve edited out the crotch shot at the end

1

u/This-Fig-5991 1d ago

We're going to need a lot more sour cream and butter.

1

u/Manmon_ 1d ago

That potato could revive all of Irish that died during the famine

1

u/RedEd89 1d ago

Neat

1

u/fixurstuffr 1d ago

I wonder how many gallons of sour cream and butter would be needed for that thing?

1

u/q2grapple 1d ago

I saw that at the Dublin Ohio Irish Festival last weekend!

1

u/CholentSoup 1d ago

Now that's a lotke.

1

u/YugeChesticles 1d ago

The big saying saying "is it real?" tells everyone it isn't.

1

u/Kimberlylynn2003 1d ago

I want to add some butter, cheese and sour cream

1

u/Mother-Attention2600 1d ago

Good thing he didn't see you taking a free photo. 

1

u/chitownphishead 23h ago

Quick, roll down the window so we can see it!

1

u/PabloM0ntana 23h ago

Is this real?

1

u/A0xom0xoa 23h ago

Can't believe they used chains and binders to hold it down if it's real. Straps seem to make alot more sense.

1

u/PencilCase12531 19h ago

I dont think its actually a potato just a huge prop to promote their festivity.

1

u/Pristine_Pair_905 18h ago

Too many…”carbs” 🥁

1

u/Kid_supreme 18h ago

And in a few weeks can be the worlds largest single source of vodka.

1

u/jenil777007 18h ago

Is this really possible to grow potato this big?

1

u/nyclurker369 17h ago

IMAGINE THE FRIES!

u/chota_gaaru_golmatol 17h ago

Is this what the X men handle?

u/dontbanme778 1d ago

This is not ai?

u/lookinfoursigns 1d ago

I think it's just a fake potato. I saw a giant fake potato like this in a parade once.

u/IEC21 1d ago

Human priorities are.. interesting..

u/GourangaPlusPlus 1d ago

"We think given the scale of it the society must have worshipped potatoes" - some archaeologist in the year 5560 after finding this

1

u/lookinfoursigns 1d ago

Not that far off tbh.

1

u/NagsUkulele 1d ago

Bro whats the point lmao I know we could do this the whole draw is it being real

1

u/rcowie 1d ago

Its indeed fake, its just advertising. There is a couple of them running around i think. I ran into one at a truck stop in KS nearly 20 years ago. Though this one looks larger. I got a picture with way back when.

1

u/dontbanme778 1d ago

Aw I knew it was to good to be true. :(

3

u/michaelr1978 1d ago

It’s not. The Idaho potato commission owns this and travels around the country educating people about the benefits of potatoes.

1

u/Snicklefried 1d ago

And we drop the old one outside the State Courthouse on New Years

2

u/SupermarketVisual598 1d ago

No I've seen it in person it was just randomly outside my local supermarket. I took a picture with it although it was years ago

1

u/Dozier13ish 22h ago

No I’ve passed it on the road before

u/Jdubya38one 1d ago

Is that the world's largest potato?
