Idaho Potatoes

I was at Jewel yesterday standing like an idiot in the produce section waiting for my wife to come back from the bathroom when this elderly woman in a Cubs jacket started mumbling something to me.

"Huh?" I said.

She replied, "I was just talking about those potatoes.  They came down from $2.49 last week." (They were $1.99.)

Unsure of how to respond, I said, "$2.49 seems kind of expensive."

"Well, those are Idaho potatoes," she reminded me.
