it's not that insane --- if you know who is behind "Big Spud":

Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in the US. According to NBC, land that he owns in Washington state is used to grow potatoes that make McDonald's fries. These potato fields are reportedly so vast that you can see them from space.

you can see them from space

With the proper magnification, damned near everything on Earth is visible from space. This is now a very poor means of comparing sizes, kind of like using football fields as a unit of measure. You can see football fields from space, btw.

Just try peeling them Mister. These Eastern Euro potatoes are sometimes as small as a golf ball, I lose more skin than I get potato on half of them. When I go shopping I look at EVERY 5kg bag in the bin to find the one with the largest spuds, I just get so sick of these tiny fucking taters we have over here.

In the '00s I took a Czech girl to SoCal and we went to a farmers market and she just stared in awe at the massive American root veggies. It boggled her mind that a lowly ingredient such as a potato could weigh in at a half a kilo and be the size of a smol Nerf football.

Suck that Russkies, you are now limited to 4cm fries!!!

Most vodka is made from sorghum or corn these days. Potatoes are rarely made into vodka.
