Photo Gallery | Six ton potato heading to Whitehaven

(WMC-TV) – If you’re headed to Walmart Friday and see a giant potato rolling by, don’t worry. You’re not having a shopping spree induced hallucination.

A 28-foot long, 12-foot wide and 11.5-foot tall potato will be making a stop at the retail giant’s location at 5255 Elvis Presley Blvd.

It’s called the Great Big Idaho Potato. And “Great Big” isn’t overstating the size of this thing. It weighs 6-tons.

The only bad thing about the massive potato? It’s not edible.

The potato will be at the store from 1 p.m. until  3 p.m.
