Oh man, this reminds me of one of the things I witnessed when working with some of my favorite kids after school, back when they were in kindergarten. It was getting close to our winter break.

I was in a small room coloring with a few of them, and one of them goes, “okay, wait, none of the kids in this room do Christmas, right?”

And they all reply that no, they don’t do Christmas, they all do Hanukkah.

“Okay, you all know The Secret, right? That Santa Claus is their parents? My parents told me last year, but it’s a secret, and we CAN’T tell the Christian kids.”

So the Jewish kids at my school have definitely has conferences on how seriously they take that responsibility.

Perhaps the most telling comment comes from the pen of English cleric John of Wallingford, prior of St. Fridswides, who complained bitterly that the Viking Age men of the Danelaw combed their hair, took a bath on Saturday, and changed their woolen garments frequently, and that they performed these un-Christian and heathen acts in an attempt to seduce high-born English women1:

It is reported in the chronicle attributed to John of Wallingford that the Danes, thanks to their habit of combing their hair every day, of bathing every Saturday and regularly changing their clothes, were able to undermine the virtue of married women and even seduce the daughters of nobles to be their mistresses2.

To stay relevant and increase demand for potatoes, it will be critical to understand Millennials and how potatoes fit into their lives. Attitudes about potatoes among Millennials are very positive. Eighty-nine percent rate potatoes ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ for being a good value, and 88 percent rate potatoes ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ for being something everyone would enjoy. In fact, potatoes rate highest on what’s most important to Millennials.
