# Super Stunt Spuds Pavitte's Stan the Stunt Potato, aka The Perishable Pet Rock By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-10-02 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-the-stunt-potato References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/Gallery/STAN-THE-STUNT-POTATO/317878) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/ThomasPavitte) Some would say Thomas Pavitte created Stan the Stunt Potato because he had too much time on his hands. Some would say that is a gross understatement. Looking like something an obsessed fan would give Evil Knievel, Stan the Stunt Potato can entertain you for… I don’t know, minutes? Thomas Pavitte actually created this thrill-seeking tater in design school, and should be applauded for having the audacity to put a helmet on a [future French fry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fry-bags).
