THE WORLD IS IN DANGER! BUY POTATOES!

Potatoes are an agricultural produce widely consumed all over the world. It has a long shelf life, is nutritious, tasty, cheap, and most of all, potatoes are imperative for humans surviving the 21st century.

Recent studies have discovered a horrifying piece of information–there will soon be a solar flare that will hit Earth and wipe out all living organisms. Making a bunker out of potatoes is the only option.

    OR AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT THE TWO MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD BELIEVED.

“With great haste, we don’t have much time left. We need to hurry and make a bunker out of potatoes!”

The Depalma and Edisons were two families of great power with a very well-maintained relationship, and their patriarchs had a long history of leading the families to great prosperity. The family members, however, did not care much about the decision-making and the patriarchs made most of the important decisions.

But, one day, all the members of the two families were confused by the orders of their patriarchs. The family patriarchs had ordered them to sell off their financial assets and procure as many potatoes as possible.

Even though the family members were confused, they still went and did as their patriarchs had ordered, so a disaster swept the world.

All the financial assets of the two most potent families started flooding the market all at once. Confusion and panic struck the masses. Many people asked the heads of the families the cause of their actions but they were silent and did not give any comments. News outlets were reporting daily on the rapid inflation of the price of potatoes.

    Mountains of potatoes that buried the mansions of the Depalma and Edison house could be seen from as far as 91.2 kilometers!

It turned out that in the annual closed-door meeting between the heads of the Depalma and Edison families to discuss and decide all the big coming family matters such as plans, investments, and future directions, a trickster had come and tricked the two family heads into believing that a solar flare was imminent and they needed to sell all of their assets, and procure as many potatoes as they could to save their families.

After this event, the world was baffled by the astronomical rise in the price of potatoes and the fall from the grace of the two most powerful families in the world.
