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

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 am afraid I have to agree.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

There are low carb potato varieties available these days.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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