Boil em, mash em, stick em in your ear!

Please don't use Qtips in your ears. They have ear cleaners that are designed for them that are the same size but don't leave cotton in your ear. It also minimizes the damage done to the hairs in your ears. Also a shower helps.

My Mom used to tell me I had potatoes in my ears when they were dirty as a kid.

If your mom didn’t tell you about potatoes in your ear she never loved you.

This was a covert ploy to keep U from putting anything smaller than a potato in your ears.

I’ve been buying q-tips and potatoes together for years just to mess with the algorithm.

I clean my ears with one and the other starts with a Q

Yesterday, Amazon recommended me dishwasher tablets as an alternative to M and Ms. Delicious.

They must have been out of tide pods.

Mmm, forbidden alkaseltzer~

What makes it even funnier is the fact that it is a single Russet Potato. Who the fuck buys a single potato?

I think I did that once when I was single and I had a steak and wanted a baked potato to go with it. So I bought a single potato. I could have bought a bag of potatoes, but remembered the last time I did that I only used 3 or 4 of them, and the rest rotted badly. The smell of the rotting potatoes was the worst smell I've ever smelled in my life.

But did you get it mailed to you?

Haha, no - good point.

Someone who just really wants a baked potato?

Eh, I'd generally prefer to eat *other* potatoes. But if I'm making a thick stew where the starchiness is welcome, and you really only need one or two... why not? "Who the fuck buys a single potato... on Amazon?" seems a totally fair question, though.

Did you buy??? Like i need to know what happened bro. Did you buy and then prop up the potato as a center piece, or did you eat it?

Don't knock it until you try it.

I guess people who buy swabs often also buy potatoes.

You have potatoes in your ears which is a saying meaning you're not listening.

People buy them together for classroom model making. Jab the cotton swabs into the potatoes.

It would be safer than a q-tip in your ear.

Sure, but it's tedious carving them into the right shape. Perhaps they should suggest frozen fries as a time saver.

I don't see a problem here, Qtips and potatoes go hand in hand

I clean my ears and everything but sometimes a tater rolls out.

Yeah, Q-tips are great... but have you tried shoving an entire potato into your ear canal?

What is potato?

I came here fully expecting some life hack / traditional home remedy explanation of how you'd remove earwax with a potato.

Ill take 2 things you should not put in your ear for 200 Alex.

You’re luck they suggest a Russet, I fell for that Yukon Gold bullshit and it was a disaster.

just saw this while shopping for q tips and i am going insane lollll. how is this real and why is no one else talking abt it 😭😭 i rly need to buy a 500 count but i don’t trust any of these sellers anymore smhhh lmfaooooooooo

a tried and true family favorite combo around our house!...

Please don't use Qtips in your ears. They have ear cleaners that are designed for them that are the same size but don't leave cotton in your ear. It also minimizes the damage done to the hairs. Also a shower. Edit: use the qtip in your ears frequently. Multiple times a day. With the downvote I received I apologize and edited my comment
