We’re starting to think that Mr Tayto’s mother must have got around back in the day.
Earlier this week, we brought you word of a crisp mascot from Malta who, if not Mr Tayto’s brother from another mother, then is definitely his fellow crisp from another packet.
What we’re trying to say is that they look very much alike.
As it turns out, mascots that look like Mr Tayto are not confined to Europe, as was confirmed in an image of another doppelganger, this time from Australia, sent into us by JOE reader Shane Corcoran.
Being from Down Under, it’ll be no surprise to learn that Mr Tayto’s Australian equivalent looks fitter, more tanned and more muscular than our beloved crisp mascot.
No doubt he’s a dab hand at the surfing, meets Alf for grub at the Diner and tells ‘Flathead’ Mr. Fisher to rack off to Yabbie Creek every opportunity he gets too.
Whatever he’s like, he certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to Mr Tayto, who might be seeking some frank answers from his mother in the very near future.
Hat-tip to Shane Corcoran for sending this one our way
