Perhaps during a starch-induced coma last Thanksgiving you dreamt of a 6-ton potato. Turns out, it’s real, and it’s making the way around the country on a big rig courtesy of Idaho® Potato.
Unfortunately, though, this spud ain’t real, but is sure is fun to gawk at. Made of steel, plywood, foam and concrete, the giant Russet was built to raise awareness for Meals on Wheels.
Fun fact: If it WERE real, it would supply roughly 30,325 servings of mashed potatoes – give or a take a few ravenous farmers. Check out the behind-the-scenes video to see how the Great Idea Potato was made.
