The biggest name in potato history! For our diamond anniversary, we're taking our show on the road with an updated, larger-than-life version of the classic Idaho® Potato postcard— the world's largest spud, placed on the flatbed of a very cool semi-truck. This is HUGE!
The Truck:
The Famous Idaho® Potato Truck will tour the country from coast to coast in 2012, stopping in cities of note, local grocery store parking lots, and at special events. Keep your eyes peeled for the one-and-only gigantic Idaho® Russet—our not-so-little way of reminding America that Idaho is the biggest thing to happen to the humble potato since bacon bits and sour cream!
Trivia. This Tater...
- would take more than 10,000 years to grow.
- weighs six tons (12,130 pounds), which is equal to 32,346 medium-sized Idaho® potatoes.
- is 1,102 times heavier than the largest potato ever grown,
which weighed 11 pounds.
- would take 2 years and 9 months to bake.
- would make 30,325 servings of mashed potatoes. Pass the gravy!
