Croatians Love Potatoes

Eastern Australia might have their giant potato (which unfortunately resembles a massive dinosaur turd), but the Croatian town of Belica is about to go even more mad about potatoes.

This small town wanted to dedicate a new park to something, and while war heroes and wars seemed the more obvious theme, potatoes won the day when the local farmers' union got involved. The park will include a potato-themed playground for kids (with swings and slippery-dips shaped like potatoes), potato flower beds and information plaques educating visitors about different kinds of potatoes. Hopefully some bright spark will also sell fries at the entrance.
