The Legend of the Sack Race

Hi! Surely you've all participated in a sack race at one point in your lives right? I love that game but I love the story behind it even more! If you're not a potato like myself, then you've probably never heard of the story. It's one of my favourite potato legends so I'll share it with you! 

It goes like this...
In a farm far, far away during a time long, long ago, there lived the McPohtahtohs. The McPohtahtohs were a very well-known and loved wild potato family because even though they were upper class, they were very humble and they were always looking for ways to better the lives of other potatoes. One day, a group of farmers discovered how fine the McPohtahtohs are and so they decided to gather all of them into a sack to sell them. The other potato families could not bear to see this happen to the McPohtahtohs so they teamed up to help with the rescue of the McPohtahtohs. It wasn't hard to rescue them since the farmers were fast asleep during the whole operation. However the potatoes soon found out that little baby Timothy McPohtahtoh was missing. It did not take them long to find him because his remains were all over one of the farmer's face; it seems that he was taken as a snack! No potato could accept this. They wanted to make sure that this will never happen again. They wanted to make sure that the farmers will never come near them again. So, the potatoes worked together to put the farmers in the sacks so they will know how it feels to be in there. This woke the farmers up and scared them so they tried to escape the potatoes and instead of getting out of the sack first, they just hopped away while still on it. Unfortunately for them, there were other people driving by, who saw them and once these people got home they told others about how silly the farmers they saw looked and mocked them. This was the beginning of the classic sack race. As for the McPohtahtohs, they lived happily ever after. 

As you can see, potatoes suck at thinking of ways to get revenge. I guess it's because potatoes are naturally nice. Since we're half potatoes we are also naturally nice. We promise. So feel free to email us at cambrielapotato@gmail.com and follow us on twitter (cambrielapotato)!
