Got my coffee brewed, emails answered, tunes blasting, gonna be a good day.

Now before you finish your coffee, could I interest you in a caffeinated, coffee flavoured microwaved potato instead? Today it's free of charge

Sweet Potato Coffee This is what you needed to know before making that offer.

"... after every experiment to make coffee of what was not coffee, we were driven to decide that there was nothing coffee but coffee"

    This does not bode well for my idea

I am afraid I have to agree.

You need a process similar to how petrified wood is formed, where the potato literally becomes coffee. You would be left with a potato made of pure coffee. I am imagining it like a giant, coffee-flavoured Malteaser.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm going to have to pass. I'm off carbs.

Oh, go on, it’s just one little potato! A short walk will burn it off

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are low carb potato varieties available these days.

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You know what else is available? Minding your own business!!

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Harsh. Surely potatoes are everyone's business. Potato = life

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

You sound hangry. Must be low blood sugar. What you need is a potato.

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Darn it! That's the only reason you wouldn't be interested thought right?

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Correct. That,and only that, is the singular reason.
