Some of us are in a love-hate relationship with potatoes. LOL no, we\u2019re not saying your S.O. is an actual potato (unless you say so). We\u2019re here to talk about the starchy vegetable<\/a> that\u2019s oh-so-delicious to eat, but also deemed too \u2018unhealthy\u2019 for modern diets<\/a> due to its high carbohydrate content. Although potato chips and crisps are most people\u2019s guilty pleasure, how much do you actually know about this humble veg? In celebration of International French Fry Day (July 13), we\u2019re here with some a-peel-ing facts about potatoes we know you\u2019ll love! #PotatoesGonnaPotate<\/p>\n

Spud-tacular facts about the humble potato<\/h2>\n

1. What does it mean when someone says you\u2019re a potato in Hong Kong?<\/h3>\n

First, let us treat you to a little level-up for your Cantonese<\/a>. When someone says another person is a potato (or is \u2018potatoey\u2019) in Canto, they aren\u2019t referring to couch potatoes or small potatoes. Instead, they mean the person is outdated and has a poor sense of fashion. That said, this concept is difficult to translate<\/a> precisely, so see if you or your friends can do a better job at explaining it!<\/p>\n
