Trick or Treat!

*cue the fog and the scary music*

So as you probably already know, Halloween was yesterday! That meant lots and lots of candies for many, including ourselves. Potatoes celebrate Halloween quite similarly to humans. A week or two before Halloween, potatoes get crazy and decorate the entire farm. They tend to have contests with those nearby to see who can create the spookiest place. The winner gets to have the title "Halloween King/Queen" for an entire year and others look up to them because they are seen as the most creative potato of the year. Halloween is one of the very few times of the year that all potatoes like to dress up on. Little potatoes always go full out when dressing up. Some like to dress as superheroes, celebrity potatoes, and even carrots! The little potatoes tend to go trick or treating starting at around 6 p.m.. Since potatoes do not eat candy, they trick or treat for fertilizer and lots of other items helpful towards potatoes. However, there are a few random potatoes who like to give out candy. If a potato receives this, he/she tends to keep it as a souvenir since they can't eat them but they are too pretty to throw away. Older potatoes tend to throw parties that involve a lot of scaring and soil fights. Some are really brave, though some refer to it as "reckless", and like to carve themselves. Potatoes have seen how beautiful some pumpkins look so they decided to do it too, potato-style. Many have said that it hurts a lot but it makes them look great so it's okay. Potato carving is a bit similar to humans getting tattoos. There are so many great things that you can do at Halloween which is why potatoes love it so much!
