[quote name='dobiewan']They sell those stupid things in gift shops around here to tourists. They sell tons of those, along with boxes of "potato bar" candy bars that are nothing more than over-priced Mars bars. You can get 'em inflatable, stuffed, plastic, rubber, and I'm sure there's novelty pooping potatos that get sold as well.
As much as I hate the "Famous Potato" tag for my state, people fall for it. Its a freaking starch-based root of a plant. Get over it, people. I live here, and I don't live anywhere NEAR a shaqfu'n potato farm. I'm sure you Wisconsin people can relate to me here, with the "cheese state" tag and all.[/quote]
Why do you card if people say you live in the potato state? I could care less if people call WI the cheese state. Every state has some kind of weird slogan behind it.
Besides, I happen to love fresh cheese curds!!!
