This just in: big potato actually big fraud.
The world's largest potato, dug up by New Zealand couple Colin and Donna Craig-Brown, has, in fact, been found to be a gourd tuber, in one of the most shocking u-turns in vegetable related news this week.
After scientific testing on the giant "swollen underground stem," Guinness World Records wrote to the pair to say their mashable (hi) veg wasn't a potato at all.
On Wednesday, The Late Show host Stephen Colbert assessed (and put googly eyes on) the uber tuber on his beloved segment "Meanwhile," which recaps all the strange news that doesn't make it to his monologue.
"When I look at this abomination I want to scream, 'There is no Gourd.'"
