美国网站出售定制土豆代替贺卡

Why send a greeting card when you can send a potato?

送土豆多有趣呀,谁还要送贺卡?

 
That's the reasoning behind one e-commerce site, which mails actual potatoes which feature personalized messages from their customers for $8 to $10.
 
PotatoParcel.com offers customers the chance to make a friend laugh, lighten the mood, or get revenge with their statement-making spuds.
 
The company offers their product in two sizes. A 'medium' potato, which can fit 100 characters, is $7.99, and a 'large' potato, which can fit a Tweet-long message of 140 characters, is $8.99.
 
Senders pick their size and then add their note, which the company writes directly on the potato skin with black marker.
 
The potato is then mailed to the recipient in a 'tiny envelope' from the company's location inTexas.
 
There's no catch, and nothing hidden inside - it really is just an actual potato with black marker writing.
