        Purple potatoes are very real.

        They’re extra cool to make mashed potatoes, fries, or chips with.

          More antioxidants and slower increase in blood sugar than ordinary potatoes.

    I mean, green ketchup tastes exactly the same as red one, so I’m used to colour being somewhat meaningless. Same with clear cola.

    Yeah, my mom grows carrots in a variety of colours, not just the new orange one that’s become so common. Also grows blue potatoes, purple beans and whatnot, because she has more fun with more colourful food.

    Dark heirloom tomatoes are pretty neat too.

    You never thought having the same standardized food throughout the year everywhere on the continent is actually weirder?

    I’ve had them. Well. We bought some and the very next day they were already limp and wet and grody. So maybe next batch will be better?
