This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Ok, but if someone here has ever had more than 50 Kg of potatoes in their car: why? What did you do with so many?
My mother used to buy like 8 or 9 50lb (22kg) sacks every fall to store in the basement to last the winter... it was pretty common back in the day, but not so much anymore.
But even now we'd be close to that limit...I usually go together with my daughter and get two boxes (22kg x2=44kg) of potatoes from the local harvester's that we split. From there a box is about $22. (This is in Canada, and yes we're Irish.)
Ah, got it. Makes sense to stock up if you eat them a lot, especially if you buy from a local harvester as is your case.
In my head it was a funny image of someone with a small car like myself, filled to the brim with potatoes, heading off from a supermarket
