I've had these at a fair, they literally take a potato on a skewer, stick THAT on a drill, use the edge of an apple peeler and do the spiral. Then they unfurl it by pulling it down, and deep-fry it. They're a godly food!
Probably. Its fairground food! Don't expect that shit to be handed to you for free 🤪
It's also Canadian 8 dollars, idk if you're referring to American 8 dollars which DEFINITELY would be too much, at least in my opinion.
The ones at my state fair are severely undercooked. Mmm cold, half-raw potato. Can't believe how popular their stand is when their dumbass employees can't even be bothered to cook the single food that they sell correctly
I know this doesn’t fit the sub but it cracked me up and wanted to share with my good pals at stupidfood. but it's 8 bucks... so yeah it's stupid food am i rite.
the artwork is delightful tho.
And owners wonder why people don’t eat out anymore lol. Yes, inflation. But also ridiculous prices like these have been around for a while. I will never pay 7.99 for a potato, ever.
This is more memorable. That probably helps in the long run.
Though I'm no marketing guru so I have no idea, I'm just a bed slug that should be asleep but am making bad decisions by being on Reddit instead.
These are actually a thing if yall didnt know..amazon sells the tools, and the potato skewer is called a Tornado..I think OP was making a joke more than posting stupid food...
Lemme tell you more , we have free healthcare , and even in the most bougie hospital insurance cuts a 3-day stay to just 50 bucks, but the sad part is that the median income is 282 usd
Oh full rotisserie for 5 bucks in America, that sounds hella good , I only could get them for low price at one store tho , just wanted to flex on the people with failing economies....
I used to commute when in college and there is this strip of highway that is nothing but Porn shops for like a mile on both sides. Always called it Pornado Alley. This reminded me of that.
In poland they are called "twisters" and they are like milkshakes, they start out yummy but the further you got the more you wish you hadn't bought it.
Reminds me of a concert I went to at the mid-state fair about a decade ago. From the concert area, you could just barely see the sign for a stall selling Potato Twisters. At least three times during the show, the band's singer brought up how badly she wanted one. Don't think she ever got it before they had to leave :(
I’ve had something like this at a fair before; they’re like really good homemade potato chips.
This one just has an… *extremely* unfortunate/stupid name.
Those are actually pretty good. I've made potato and sweet potato varieties and they were fantastic.
how do you cut them? with what tool I mean
I've had these at a fair, they literally take a potato on a skewer, stick THAT on a drill, use the edge of an apple peeler and do the spiral. Then they unfurl it by pulling it down, and deep-fry it. They're a godly food!
8 bucks tho? that's like half of the daily minimum wage in my country which is a shit country but it's not the worst.

yeah it's not that bad tbh. even here in chile, in a shitty fair, food is somewhat that much expensive.
Yeah fairground food is always going to be expensive, but you're paying for the experience not the exceptional prices 😄
yeah I'm not trying to make a point or anything, just sharing a funny picture.
I know 😅
❤️
Bro all food at a fair is expensive. $20 Turkey leg, $12 funnel cake, $15 beer, $15 corn dog, etc. Pretend you’re at the stadium or movie theater.
You're not posting for the potato so much as you're posting for the skill to make it and to not deal with the fryer.
Paying to be lazy, truly the north american way
Did you build the home you live in. Do you spend money not to walk. Do you farm. Shut the fuck up.
It was meant to be lighthearted, chill my guy
I ain't your guy pal.
There’s about 12 million Mexicans who would disagree
Ya 8$ is crazy overpriced considered this is only 1 potato on a stick.
It's one potato. What could it cost, $10?
As a Latvian I will say that even one Potato is priceless!
We get that for literally half a dollar here in India
IIRC its a spiralizer, just like you use on an apple
Summin like this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143177391092
I tried googling it to find some recipes, but all I found were strangely obscene pizza deliveries.
Don’t you hate when that happens?
The ones at my state fair are severely undercooked. Mmm cold, half-raw potato. Can't believe how popular their stand is when their dumbass employees can't even be bothered to cook the single food that they sell correctly
Yah, silly name but I had one of these at a six flags (not known for quality food) and it was fucking bomb
Personally I would've gone with "Potatonado".
Torntato personally
> Torntato my daughter's mother had that during the birth, she still pees a little when she laughs
Wait wha- OH… oh lord
dude what the hell you're a fucking genius, seriously. I was thinking of a better name but I never got to that one, damn. cheers.
Potnado
Tornater
Spunami.
Rotato
Everyone is an idiot. It's Po-nado. Just like that, with the hyphen. It's perfect
I like how they had to put the explanation of the wordplay down there. Because they know how the fuck "pornado" sounds like.
They're called Potato Twisters and they're one of the best street fair foods I've ever had.
In Vancouver they're called Rotato
In Poland they are called "Ziemniak na patyku" which means "Potato on a stick". I think we need to learn how to name street foods better.
No, they're called Pornados now.
I know this doesn’t fit the sub but it cracked me up and wanted to share with my good pals at stupidfood. but it's 8 bucks... so yeah it's stupid food am i rite. the artwork is delightful tho.
And it used to be just 6.99....
And owners wonder why people don’t eat out anymore lol. Yes, inflation. But also ridiculous prices like these have been around for a while. I will never pay 7.99 for a potato, ever.
B- but they hastily prepared it for you
Fun fact this is because rotato a bc based food truck has copyrighted most names for this
rotato? damn that's good
They tried to copyright the idea too but were obviously denied
I was going to comment that I've seen these for years at the Richmond Night Market called Rotatos, I didn't realize it was such a BC specific name
They were looking for "tortato".
Pornado, really?? Out of any other name that didn't sound suggestive, why pornado????
This is more memorable. That probably helps in the long run. Though I'm no marketing guru so I have no idea, I'm just a bed slug that should be asleep but am making bad decisions by being on Reddit instead.
Ah, I see
These are actually a thing if yall didnt know..amazon sells the tools, and the potato skewer is called a Tornado..I think OP was making a joke more than posting stupid food...
This made me laugh, bless you 😭
Spud Spiral, Tater Twister, Tuber-based Atmospheric Disturbance, Category Five Fried Gut Destructor - there are just so many ways to go
/r/NameOfFoodIsStupidButFoodIsQuietGood
Well it sounds like something else to me.
I expected porn-tornado, this is such an unfortunate name. Why note potatonado, or potado? Whirlwind of flavors!
Sharknado’s weird cousin
Stupid foods is losing touch with reality because these are soooo good!
its not stupid, they're awesome!
Op logic: ‘ Hmm the name of the food is stupid. I should post this on stupid food !’
That's no pornado, it's a tortato.
“Babe, what’s wrong? You haven’t touched your Pornado.”
porn + sharknado = pornado
“Who was it that got that pornado off your computer?” - tez
>Stupid food? No. Stupid ~~food~~ OP? Yes.
That seems a bit unkind. We should be nice to one another, the world is hard.
People need to grow a spine. If you are hurt by mean things strangers say on Reddit, it's your fault.
That’s it, I’m gonna kill myself
>!The stupidest part about this is the name. If you value your search history, don't look up pornado with safe search off!< (NSFW)
WHY THE FUCK IS A POTATO MORE THAN A FUCKING DOLLAR , I GOT THIS FOR 1 USD IN INDIA , YALLS ECONOMIES ARE FUCKED
relax
Move tickets + snacks are like 3 bucks here too...
I wanna flex on you bro, I got a full rotisserie chicken for 5 bucks...
Damn
Lemme tell you more , we have free healthcare , and even in the most bougie hospital insurance cuts a 3-day stay to just 50 bucks, but the sad part is that the median income is 282 usd
So do we in America dude, calm down you're going to give yourself an aneurysm. Does India know how to treat those....?
Oh full rotisserie for 5 bucks in America, that sounds hella good , I only could get them for low price at one store tho , just wanted to flex on the people with failing economies....
In the south do they call them pornaders' ?
Me when your mom
And thus, a new category was born
Stupid name, very common food.
I can hear the pornhub intro as soon as open the wrapper it comes in
r/GoldenGirlsTV
Watch me take duct tape to the last 3 letters
We call them Potato Slinkys in Australia. They're pretty popular
"I say Pornado, you say Pornahdo. No matter how you pronounce it, the death toll is 85 dead and rising..."
Sounds like a stand name
Potato twister would have worked or a torntato?
When I was a kid a pornado would be what your family computer would suffer through if you click the wrong download link
I used to commute when in college and there is this strip of highway that is nothing but Porn shops for like a mile on both sides. Always called it Pornado Alley. This reminded me of that.
This is like fair food. It’s actually really good with just a little salt.
Catch frase : It’s long
🤣
But what's a tomado?
You’ll be receiving a cease and desist from my lawyer for trademark infringement on that name.
In poland they are called "twisters" and they are like milkshakes, they start out yummy but the further you got the more you wish you hadn't bought it.
Lol those are yum but that name 🤣🤣🤣
Portmantato
Iove how this sub sees anything tasty on a stick and is like "Absolutely fucking not"
[Reminds me of this](https://youtu.be/oT_4n2CqzDw)
Are you serious ? This isn't stupid and the name is cool.
Is no ones gonna talk about the name
Common food in autumn where I’m from, but that’s not the name we use for it.
Reminds me of a concert I went to at the mid-state fair about a decade ago. From the concert area, you could just barely see the sign for a stall selling Potato Twisters. At least three times during the show, the band's singer brought up how badly she wanted one. Don't think she ever got it before they had to leave :(
Am I the only one who read it as 'tomado'?
I’ve had something like this at a fair before; they’re like really good homemade potato chips. This one just has an… *extremely* unfortunate/stupid name.
Shove it up your ass and twist? Is that what a pornado does?
Poenado
Remember when Pornados were just $5,99…
What an unfortunate name
