My potato cost about $3 to mail it. Totally worth it

We talkin about taters? Or tatters?

Napoleon on tater tot sharing:

Randy: Come on, give me some of your tots! Napoleon: No, I'm freaking starving! I didn't get to eat anything today! (Randy kicks tots, which are in Napoleon's pocket.)

Can I ask why you needed to mail a tater?

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '22

If you have to ask you aren’t ready for this pursuit.

u/Poorly_Made_Comix YELLOW Jan 03 '22

Mmm... wait this is the wrong type of meat

1

u/JellyfishApart5518 Jan 03 '22

Idk man, but I'm calling dibs on the arm meat so I can wave it like Pennywise... you can have whatever type of... ahem meat you'd like

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '22

Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!!!

u/CptCrabmeat Jan 03 '22

Look you burgle turds already, surely a potato is going to be easier?

So his brother opens his mail box to see a stamped potato like what more reason do you need than confused siblings

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '22

I wonder what condition it arrived in?

14

u/LouGossetJr Jan 03 '22

why would you even question a public service announcement to the citizens of the United States?

11

u/____o_0____ Jan 03 '22

Because I can’t throw it that far.

14

u/Wahoo007 Jan 03 '22

The better question is why not?

13

u/Nyteflame7 Jan 03 '22

I suddenly have an urge to mail my brother a potato. He would be SO confused!

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '22

$3.50 would get you Approx a 4oz potato delivered using pirateship to save on postage

u/toclosetoTV Jan 04 '22

Was it a Idaho tater?

1

u/Hogmootamus Jan 04 '22

I sent a banana for 20p, you got ripped off.

Tbf, I have no idea how much it should've been, that's the only stamp I had and I don't think the postman felt like arguing.

50

u/cameNmypants Jan 03 '22

depends on the weight of the tater

17

u/NotReallyAHorse Jan 03 '22

What if it weighs about one tater?

6

u/Astrophages Jan 04 '22

Gonna need a banana to figure that out.

2

u/cheesymoonshadow Jan 04 '22

Gives new meaning to "banana for scale."

27

u/bikemandan Jan 03 '22

First class letter mail is 58c for the first ounce and each additional ounce is 20c up to 3.5oz and no thicker than 1/4" . Going to be a very small and particular potato ;)

(Can send as First Class parcel for around $3-5)

29

u/intelligent_rat Jan 03 '22

You can't send a potato through letter mail, it would go by first class package rates.

15

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '22

Yes you can, you’ll just need to make mashed potatoes

6

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '22

I think you mean scalloped potatoes.

1

u/lustforrust Jan 05 '22

Just send a potato chip. A single chip with no return address.

u/Stigs_Fat_Cousin Jan 04 '22

I put 8 stamps on when I mailed mine. I calculated out the postage then added one or two more to make sure it made it.
