The Famous Idaho Potato Tour
The Big Idaho® Potato Truck is on its 13th cross-country journey! It began in 2012 as a one-year campaign to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Idaho Potato Commission and became quickly apparent with its success that it would be more than a one-year occurrence, it literally became a big piece of pop-culture. It travels the country promoting the American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association certified Idaho® potato and its mission to help small charities in towns and cities with its A Big Helping program. Not to mention that people just want to have their picture taken with a 4-Ton Idaho® potato?
The most commonly asked question is…Is it real? Let’s just say…if it was…
• The Big Idaho® Potato would take more than 7,000 years to grow.
• Plan on waiting 2 years for it to bake.
• If you have a large crowd to feed, this tater would make 20,217 servings of mashed potatoes
and almost 1 million (970,380) average-sized fries!
• It is 802 times heavier than the largest potato ever grown, which weighed 11 pounds.
