By popular request : The Mr. Potato Head liscence plate

Since not everyone is going to be able to make it to Dave’s RibFest and even some of those just can’t seem to wait, here it is … the wonder, the glory, the magnificence that is the long awaited Mr. Potato Head Liscence Plate.

How cute! :slight_smile:

Ahh, time tell my favorite potato-license plate story.

Way back when, they were redesigning the Maine license plate. This was when American license plates were just starting to deviate from the alphanumeric-only stage. Adding a graphic was a big deal.

The downstaters wanted to put a lobster on the new plates. The upstaters wanted a potato – and they backed their argument with statistics that Maine potatoes did more for the employment and economy of the state, by a large margin, than lobster fishing.

Well, someone had the good sense to order mock-ups of the competing designs. As you might imagine, the potato plate looked like it contained a big, brown turd! The lobster folks won the fight.

I’m going to be disciplined and wait until I can see it in person.
