Potato and Love

taunto

Potatoes are better at representing love than the current symbol of the flower. There are a lot of reasons why potatoes excel at this.

The first reason is that roses only last a couple weeks and that's if you leave them in water. That's like saying "My love for you is transitory". But a potato! Potatoes last for a long time. In fact, not only will they not rot, but they actually grow stuff even if you just leave them in the sack! That part alone makes it a good symbol. But wait, there's more!

There are so many ways to enjoy a potato! You can even make a battery with it! That's like saying: "I have many ways in which I show my love for you".

Flowers really only exist to be pretty so that's like saying: "My love for you is based solely on your appearance". Potatoes may be ugly, but they're still awesome. So that's like saying: "It doesn't matter at all what you look like, I'll still love you".

For these reasons and more, we would like to see potatoes become the mainstream symbol for love and friendship.

So on Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays, and ANY other gift giving occasion: save a flower, give a potato.

I heart potatoes.

How can something that has kept millions of people fed for thousands of years be bad?

My great grandfather fled his native land because of the lack of potatoes.

Selling himself as an indentured servant was preferable to living without spuds.
