Megachip

MegaChip is a round white potato variety with good tuber size,[1] and specific gravity for chipping. It was developed at Rhinelander Agricultural Research Station in Wisconsin and it was result of a cross between 'Wischip' and 'FYF85' after many years of selection and breeding.[1][2] The cross resulting in Megachip was made in 1985. It produces high quality chips that have an excellent color both from the field and after storage at 7.2 to 10 degrees C.

gollark: `coroutine.yield` passes up whatever you pass to it to whatever is `coroutine.resume`ing the coroutine, and the convention (in CC, for using coroutines for multitasking) is that the thing which is passed is the filter.
gollark: Dan200 is dan200.
gollark: Technically not *exactly*.

gollark: It would return exactly the same thing as `os.pullEventRaw`, actually.
