Why do some supermarkets think I want to buy green potatoes?!
Isn't this making them poisonous?
Answers: Because they tend to leave them under the flourescent light all day.
Isn't this making them poisonous?
Yes you are correct not eating them they are poisonous. All potatoes contain a toxin called glycoalkaloids, these are concentrated in high amounts in green/sprouting potatoes. It amazes me how supermarkets can leave them in the warm under lights they should be stored in a cool dry place. Avoiding green bits on crisps is a good idea to :-)
They want you to go Green.
Because they don't have blue ones.
I remember green potatoes being deadly. Maybe that's a myth, like Global Warming.
I sometimes wonder if their smellers have gone, too. Some places wreak of rotten chicken and still let people in the door.

i always thought green spuds were poisonous, maybe the supermarkets are trying to kill us all off.
Did you turn up at the store w ith a RECYCLE MORE bag under your arm in protest of plastic bags usage? ...i'm just worried, cause that's what i do! dON'T like no green potatoes though...
I don't know - are you a Martian?
You must have been to my local supermarket they also do a nice line in black brussel sprouts!!!
Cos they think you might be ignorant of the toxicity of green spuds, that they might be able to exploit your ignorance, and make some profit out of you buying them.
I dont know!?........
And whats with the un-ripe apples?
I buy my apples 3 weeks in advance and place them in the sun for 3 weeks until they're ripe enough to eat.
So-o annoying!
Their produce are not the freshest or the most natural as they are all grown with herbicides & pesticides and preservatives, not to mention are irriradiated to make them last and look edible.
Try local farm produce as its produce has less of these things and better for your health even though it does not last in the refrigerator as long.
Worse yet is the fluoridation of your water supply. We must preserve our precious bodily fluids.
You mean you don't want to buy green potatoes?? That's odd. It has to be a very common misconception about you, among people. Well, every day you learn something new.
GREEN ARE BETTER THAN RED OR WHITE
