That's the reasoning behind one e-commerce site, which mails actual potatoes which feature personalized messages from their customers for $8 to $10.

 

PotatoParcel.com offers customers the chance to make a friend laugh, lighten¹ the mood, or get revenge² with their statement-making spuds.

 

The company offers their product in two sizes. A 'medium' potato, which can fit 100 characters, is $7.99, and a 'large' potato, which can fit a Tweet-long message of 140 characters, is $8.99.

 

Senders pick their size and then add their note, which the company writes directly on the potato skin with black marker.

 

The potato is then mailed to the recipient³ in a 'tiny envelope' from the company's location inTexas.

 

There's no catch, and nothing hidden inside - it really is just an actual potato with black marker writing.
