Spud Stalls

Twist Potato, The Potato Corner, Friends Fries.  These are but a few of the numerous population of potato based food stalls opening all around the world. Left and right you would see them as you walk in malls, streets, and highly populated areas. Oftentimes, there is more than one stall in every mall so as to give the people better access to it.

 As I walk leisurely past these stalls, I see the long queues of people wanting to buy fries and other potato products. They become willing to stand and wait to have a taste of the ever so famous potato. Be it in cheese, barbeque or sour cream flavor, the people adore the deliciously fried strips of potato and willingly waste their time away just to get their fix.

 Though it is obvious that the numerous stalls provide a way for people to get their beloved potato with less effort and hassle, I often wonder why the people decide to pay more instead of making their own potato dishes. With just a few ingredients and a little skill, one could master the art of cooking potatoes and manipulate the recipe to suit their own personal taste. This thought then leads me to a certain conclusion. And that conclusion is that the potato gives humans the urge to consume it and receive immediate satisfaction.

The potato is slowly gaining more and more power over the humans and there seems to be no way that anyone can stop this progression. All I can do is watch as the people devour the mighty spud and fall into its power.
