Way back in 2012 I had a post about a Giant Potato sighting and a missed opportunity and a save by a friend.
Guess what? - The Potato was back!
Yesterday I was driving past the local grocery store (Harvest Foods) that we shop at and low and behold there was the Potato truck in their parking lot. I hurried home to get my mom, Coleen and of course my camera and back we all went to take some photos.
So without further ado I give you...Spuddy Buddy and the Famous Idaho Potato Tour. - Lots of photos - Be sure to click to enlarge.
Of course I wanted in on the fun so I had Coleen take my picture.
Another view of the potato and truck from a different angle.
Now for a few details of the truck...
"It's Real" and think that the actual potato is a real potato!
Finally a couple of postcards we were given inside the store that list fun facts about the potato. - My favorite: If this were a real potato and you baked it, it would take 2 years and 9 months for it to bake!
Hope you have enjoyed my potato post.
Wow that's one big potato. Can I have the french fries now? Having Colleen in the picture makes shows the prospective. Glad you took pieces of the truck I like them as much as the potato
ReplyDeleteThat's a large spud!
ReplyDeleteLOL, now that would make a lot of mashed potatoes. Fun photos. Have a happy day and week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun - love it! My hubby works for a local potato chip company - he would get a kick out of this - I'll have to show him. Cute photos of you and Colleen, too! x Karen
ReplyDeleteGood advertising gimmick!
ReplyDeleteThat's some spud :) If that was a real potato and I had to wait over 2 years for it to bake I would be needing quite a few snacks while I was waiting...lol

ReplyDeleteThis was so much fun, Ida! Lots of color and great signage on that truck, and those pictures of you and Coleen are priceless. Coleen, especially, will cherish these photos one day.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to wait that long for my spud to bake, lol! Great photos Ida, glad you and Colleen got your pictures taken. The truck was a lovely red color, and shined up so prettily. Loved the swan hood ornament too. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rest of your week :)
