How To Make Your Own Pet Potato

June 26, 2017 by Chris Durso

Cats and dogs had a good run. Now, it’s time for the potato to become your new favorite pet.

DIY inventor Marek Baczynski, remembering from science class that a potato produces electricity, brings us the Pet Potato. What started as nothing more than a four-wheeled spud that could only travel a few inches in a straight line, quickly becomes a loyal multi-directional pet. Marek named his new buddy, Pontus.

What Marek didn’t take into account, unfortunately, is that keeping delicious pets around is never a good idea, and Pontus’s fate becomes obvious. I won’t give anything away, but that fate involves baking and some butter. Enjoy!

Peeled: The Potato Resurrection is The Potato Horror Film We’ve Been Waiting For

October 10, 2016 by Chris Durso

If the sound of “fries, baked or mashed?” makes your blood run cold, or you’re gluten-intolerant… look away from the screen.

Peeled: The Potato Resurrection is the potato-themed horror film we didn’t know we needed. Although merely a faux-trailer, the short film by Katrina Naficy and Nick Massey is a terrifying tale of a woman haunted by the root vegetable. Even if celery root and beets are far scarier.

Watch as a potato bleeds for no good reason, and stay for the potato birth scene… seriously.

How do you make the near perfect foodstuff that is a burrito even better? If you’re Natasha of Through The Eyes of My Belly, you forgo the standard tortilla and wrap your burrito fillings in a sweet potato.

The Potatorrito is your food fusion and portmanteau of the day. See the ‘how-to’ below.

Girl Finds A Potato That Looks Like A Baby, So She Brought It Home And Dressed It Up

November 20, 2015 by Chris Durso

battata

We’ve all been there… spotting a piece of produce that strongly resembles a friend or random cartoon character, only to dismiss it as unbuyable. But when 19-year-old Brazilian student, Roberta Bernardo, spots a root vegetable with a potential face, she seizes the opportunity.

Roberta found a potato that, let’s face it, most of us would’ve walked past giggling. But what she did was take that malformed potato home, bathed it, gave it some eyes, and named it Batata (Potato in Portuguese).

She also set Batata on a series of adventures, most of which you can find on the potato’s Facebook page. Yes, an anthropomorphic potato has a Facebook page. One that you know you want to follow.

Baked Potauntauns Smell Great On The Outside

November 28, 2014 by Chris Durso

The Empire Strikes Back, the planet Hoth… Luke Skywalker narrowly escapes becoming a Wampa’s dinner, and has nearly frozen to death. Han Solo, needing a warm place to store Luke for the night, slices open his loyal Tauntaun and sticks Luke inside.

Finally, this fateful scene can be reenacted at the dinner table with Baked Potauntauns. The indiegogo project includes parts that’ll turn any baked potato into a Tauntaun. The included Lightsaber Butter Knife will help slice the beast open.

And, the best part, a butter mold that’ll help create a near-death and meltable Luke to place inside. Surely, the finished Baked Potauntaun will smell good on the inside and outside.

Although the campaign to mass produce the Potauntauns is nowhere close to its goal [c’mon people], you can find out more here.
