Potato Parcel

Aaaaaand we have a new strangest post. Potato Parcel is the mail-able potato service. Yup. You can mail a potato to someone. That’s it, folks. That’s the whole site.

Another Shark Tank product. The scariest thing is, there’s competition. Tater Trollin, Mystery Potato, Mail-a-Spud… Those are just the first few. But if I’m gonna pick one, I’m going with the original Potato Parcel. God bless ’em for finding this very necessary USPS loophole.

You wouldn’t think there would be much more to say about this, yet I find 104 lines.

Overall: Nailed it! I’m not sure what it is about these weird ones, but my brain really enjoy them. (Is it possible to niche in ridiculous sh*t?)

Lessons: What can you learn about a potato? That sometimes you need to throw yourself a bone. After the earlier struggles this week, it felt really good to just be dumb. Also, the reviews were a gold mine! I knocked out 70(!) straight lines without touching a formula. Then I needed to stop and read something smart. Just so I wouldn’t forget how.

Time: Dang it. I forgot to time but it felt short. I’d say about 55 minutes.

Potatoes mailed to people: 3

If you know any more fun sites like this, shoot me a note or put ’em in the comments. I dig these! (Unintentional garden pun)
