On March 23, 2015, an anonymous sender sent me a potato in the mail. Apparently this is a thing that the postal service allows.
Original potato post: http://imgur.com/gallery/EB3Dr
I put the potato in a sealed container where it's been ever since, and later a co-worker turned it into a piece of art. I look forward to enjoying more years of this miracle of nature.

Since I have you here, this is just a reminder that we still want to be able to sort our favorites. Thanks for reading.

Is this the first photo we've seen of the Imgur servers?

Send it back after 5 years with a note saying "The ritual is complete."

Wouldn't it be cool if we could somehow do science and reverse food decay like idk that would be really rad to me

Before I even knew of imgur I left an apple under my friends bed and she found it and kept it... 4 years ago.

Does anyone else find it suspicious that she received this potato just a few days after @iH8myPP created his account?
Mirilali
I love that it has an official museum quality description on its label
spits1fire20
Reminds me of the Easter egg we never found for a year and a half until it broke behind the couch...
PillaPlease
Was there anything in it at that point?

A little tiny hard yolk and a lot of stink

Actually the postal service will take virtually anything as long as it has; address, return address, and adequate postage.

When I cleaned out my grandparents pantry there were cans of cranberries that were leaking black liquid and had expired in 1991....

Second anniversary. To add the word "year" is redundant.

McDonalds wouldn't have any problem turning that into a hash brown and serving it

You take that back.

Listen to @Nicktree, Sarah... He's the boss now.

If the comment gets to 1000 points that pretty much means you have to eat it

The Imgur Christmas Elf responded my comment. Uh....... Hi!? Also had a blast doing that this year. Looking forward to this years.
Nick
I am ready to accept such a fate. For the greater good.

Can confirm- It smells terrible if you get too close

Not much of a sealed container then. Get your act together, Sarah!

@sarah The company responsible was on Shark Tank; called 'Potato Parcel.' They made a deal with Kevin, and they both wore potato costumes.

Sarah is the one person who should not apologize for potato

I sit right by this potatoe. An office conspiracy is that it gave me appendicitis last year. The jury is still out though.

Oh goodness, now it's my turn to apologize to a Canadian; I'm so so sorry, my friend, that sucks so bad. I can teach ya how to make mead!

I would be forever grateful if you could my southern brother!
DarthFluffyBottom
Another mead-maker here, do share some recipes!
JewishMonk
I'll help teach! I've made my fair share of mead.
SpockIsMyHomeboy
Hands down my favorite thing to make. We have a crap ton of apiaries around here so it's awesome how the flavor can change season to season
JewishMonk
No shit. A local beekeeper gave me 20lbs of "undesirable" goldenrod honey last month. I'm gonna make a weird mead with it.
Entartika
As a Mailman I have delivered a potato. It was awkward. Also a coconut, pizza box, cheez-it box among many others.
apeinui
Coconut is my personal fav.
bobbyslims
I would love to receive a box of cheezits FYI

RickMorty
You've been requested by @sarah now you have to do it

I delivered my first human remains the other day had to get a signature for it, lady goes oh it's my uncle Jerry you're a lot lighter than

DidNotIntendToBeHereThisLong
I have been posted an apple once. It was fucking gross.
grandmastonguekiss
I've mailed a cheezits box, full of weird stuff to my niece at college. She laughed, kinda

I've sent letters written on boards, a bowling ball, golf ball, an addressed brick, a letter written on a tire (white ink), many bottles 1/2

2: A shoe, a small dog house, a clean (new) paint can, many stuffed animals, a pan, a gallon can of corn & more. None of these were wrapped.

Sorry, mailed a keyboard inside a pizza box...
myotherbikeisabike
I have been mailed a coconut and always wondered what the mailman must have thought
Mmmmmk
Thank you for your service
dpidcoe
But was it this potato the potato that you delivered?
yourmotherandIthinkyoushouldmoveout
Wbw I was a clerk, I came across a Saran wrapped 12" dildo with stamps running up the shaft, and address on the back. Gd hilarious
SleepyKeetom
. so I can remember this. Absolutely amazing
kraeftig
that... is probably the funniest mail item i've ever heard of. That's great.
Znayx
Reading "Sarah wrapped" lead to some fascinating confusion...
sarabear
When I had to leave college for cancer treatment, some friends mailed me a giant bouncy ball. It made me smile :) still have it!
VampireBill
Years ago I mailed my mother, who was in Ohio, a coconut when I was in Key West.
mybrothersmario
I prefer "Years ago I mailed my mother,who was in Ohio."
stimpsonjcatt
What a surprise ending your comment had.
nothungrygames
I literally read that as : you mailed your mother.
LavaAxe
As a former mail man, I've delivered a sealed envelope of shit. Also several postcards with pictures of the sender's(presumably) genitals.
airelibre
The placing of the brackets after "sender's" makes me think you couldn't be sure they were genitals. Please don't let that be the case...
LavaAxe
Heh, it's more that I couldn't be sure if it's the sender's dick :)
airelibre
That still doesn't clear it up. Do you mean as opposed to the sender's finger, or as opposed to the sender's friend's dick?
BewareTheJabberwockie
My hometown had a mailman who just threw all the mail in the canal for like 3 months before someone reported it...
OSCgal
Yikes. Isn't that a felony?
BewareTheJabberwockie
Yup... same guy had been keeping mail at home but his house was so full of it he began tossing it in the canal. He wasnt all there obviously

I used to deliver mail in Maine- bees, 2 day old chickens, sheep brains. Also at my current job we have a 12 year old twinkie in a box.

It'll be the law when we get favorites folders.

How much you wanna bet one of these downvotes is from @sarah

I'd bet all the favorites in my favorites folders. Oh wait.

Not until we get favorites folders! Never forget!!!! :((

this would be more Original Commenter than Original Poster, but ya good effort

Oh dang you're right. Whelp.

It was probably mainly for the points that come with trying to contact an OP.

Yeah but then we would need #OC , and that just doesn't happen around here...

"Caution: Don't shake. Live bees." Yeah that package is gonna be angry crossing the border.
ICareAboutYou
I keep bees in the USA, and I've done it. Half of the bees die, but if you can't go get a box then it's not a bad idea.
xenburnn
with colony collapse and africanized bees in the headlines i'm surprised
ICareAboutYou
It's spreading, but so far CCD mostly affects forced migratory tractor trailer bees. Africanized aren't a problem from reputable breeders.
ICareAboutYou
I prefer to buy bees locally, I can visit the hive and check it for diseases and aggression, etc. I can buy my pick on the spot, no shipping
