The Potato Museum in Blackfoot Idaho has more to offer than just a big spud sculpture out front. First off, visitors are greeted with a cardboard cut-out of Marilyn Monroe sporting a potato sack dress*. Once inside, the visitor is treated to a family of singing potatoes and all manner of tuber-related ephemera. (Please excuse the low audio volume in the start of the video, you might have to crank it up/use earbuds to hear the dialog.)
*editor's note: the actress' original claim to fame was as the first honorary Castroville Artichoke Festival Queen in 1948

As a resident of said state, I actually paid extra to have a license plate that did NOT refernce potatoes in any way.
And by coincidence, I was driving the other day, when I spotted that the license plate on the truck in front of me read "HEAD." Say what? Oh. In front of that was the image of a baked potato sporting butter that one can get from the Idaho license plate folks. So, "Potato HEAD." Got it.
