The potato was invented in 1920 by sir thomas moor as a means of demoralising the german army, the potato would be used in battle by frying it to make the foodstuff known as "Chips" (pron. CH-I-P-S for all you morons out there). The smell would waft over to the german trenches and their soldiers would scramble over the top to get at whatever was causing the heavenly odour where they would be mowed down.
