With apologies to def_fr0g_42, I live at the intersection of two of the nation's major roadways, so i see alot.

Sometimes, I see Giant Potatoes.



I saw it parked at a hotel near my house.  Even potato peddlers have to sleep.

Food-themed vehicles does seem to be an open field, so i am okay with naming this the second greatest of the genre (The Oscar Meier Weinermobile, which I also saw on I-80 is easily #1.

Some facts about the Idaho Potato Truck:

-It's 6 tons
- or about 32,000 potatoes
- or 30,325 servings of mashed potatoes
- or 1.5 million french fries.

While sharing the sight I saw, I was asked the purpose of the truck.  "Who needs to be reminded about potatoes?"

Fair enough, but the truck does good charity work like donating to Meals on Wheels.
