There’s One Born Every Minute, Gag Me with a Spud Dept. (Updated) 1

I thought white potatoes came ready to microwave right out of the ground. Just wash them and poke them a few times with a fork.

Apparently not.

Microwave Spud

The “microwavable potatoes” are two for three dollars.

Regular Idahos are $1.49 a pound (Idahos, not red russets or plain ole low-brow round lumpy white potatoes).

Spud

Figure about three Idahos per pound and do the arithmetic. That’s awfully expensive Saran Wrap.

Addendum:

I received an email from someone what has tried these thingees, which says, in part,

Yukk.

    They do the same thing with sweet potatoes too. I’ve never bought them wrapped up either. I can wash, scrub & stick all by myself.
