What? Since when have potatos been nasty? It’s the chips, if anything, that are nasty.

Agreed, but the thing is described as a “shriveled potato”... you know that thing must have been greasy as hell too.
We like to not think about food in its pre-processed, stage right?
Potato chips are like a fantasy product and seeing an old shriveled potato in their midst would be a little too much reality for me.
I would sue for hundreds of millions.

Def Jux gave away an entire album for free via [adult swim] just a few months ago and now they’re complaining about bootleggers. As Despot said himself on that album they can “Get Rich or Try Dying.”
