A grenade weighs about 8 times as much as a potato. You’d think that the harvesting system would be able to differentiate between a rock and a potato, and this is twice as dense as a rock.

German grenades were nicknamed potato mashers.

Theoretically it could make a lot of hash.
I’ve got a training grenade; I’ve got to remember to keep it away from the tater bin.

Fry it up! Sounds like it would be a flavor explosion.

Every time I watch How It’s Made and they show those conveyor belts that use cameras and air to blow away things that don’t belong it always amazes me.
I can see how something like this would slip by but I know what happens when a nail hits my saw blade so I can only imagine what would have happened if that thing hit the slicer.

I just saw an old news reel from Australia showing them making British grenades for WWII.

Yeah, but those were those large stick grenades. They had a long wooden handle to thow them with a small can with the explosive charge at the end.

I like this new potato density scale.
A rock is four times as dense as a potato
A grenade is twice as dense as a rock
A gold ingot is four times as dense as a grenade
It is left as a problem for the student to calculate the average density of a neutron star. State your answer in megapotatoes.
