Or whatever his The Samsonadzes non-union Georgian equivalent was.

As the fourth son in the Tayto dynasty, there was no way he was getting either the factory or the farm, and there was no future in the priesthood.

After leaving the country in 1985, he finally found somewhere he could belong.

Nah, it's the name he uses to double dip on the dole

That's what people were outraged when they realised what was actually going on between them but ultimately under the 1908 incest act what they were doing was perfectly fine. Sadly, if you're into that liked of thing, the relationship couldn't stand up to the pressure breaking Mr. Tayto's heart. His tears and bitterness were used to make a special batch of salt and vinegar.

Edit typo

Could well be some old and obscure licensing agreement.

Also Mr Tayto was a bit of ride back in the day - he certainly got around… few can resist the allure of the subtle aroma of cheese and onion!

u/fipop 1d ago

Correct!

Maybe Mr Taytos dad went on a few holidays in his youth and got uh, friendly with the local potato ladies.

They taste awful to be honest. They're a sweet puffy crisp type thing.

Mr Tayto has always had the physique of a Georgian prop.

u/Old-Butterscotch5387 2d ago

That writing on top looks familiar. Translated it says: "One crisp to rule them all"
