While some mail services are focusing on annoying things you can deliver to your enemies (including glitter, jarred farts and candy penises), this company helps you send a potato with a nice message written on it. MysteryPotato sends potato parcels (in addition to glitter bombs) with a personalized message. They are also anonymous, so it could be a silly avenue for any potential secret admirers out there this Valentine's Day.
When you mail a potato, you also have the option between a regular, baby or red potato. Prices to send a potato range from $7.99 to $9.99.
While this is obviously quite a silly business venture, the absurdity of it all will likely intrigue a number of people, whether for holidays or just because.
