Why this story hasn't gotten more coverage is beyond me. Global produce news site FreshPlaza recently reported on the incarceration of
Spuddy Buddy, the official mascot of Idaho potatoes, during a trade mission to Mexico. "His paperwork was not
complete," the article says. Discussions between Mexican officials and the Idaho governor and trade officials
ensued and Spuddy was eventually released from prison and granted a 48-hour pass of some sort. The newly-liberated
tuber then joined up with his cohorts, including Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne, for cooking demonstrations and a visit to one of Mexico's most popular
supermarkets. Strangely enough, The Spuddy Buddy Fan Club says
nothing of this incident.[Photo: Idaho Governor's Missions]
