　　(2016·衡水一中高三模拟)In the US, the potato is one of the most widely consumed crops. French fries are commonly found in typical American fast­food burger joints and cafeterias. French fries were introduced to the US when Thomas Jefferson served them in the White House during his presidency from 1801 to 1809. Potato chips are popular with consumers as well.

　　The humble potato is more than just a kind of food. In many ways it?s part of American pop culture. Let?s take a look at some pop culture potatoes.

　　Mashed Potato dance

　　The Mashed Potato dance is a craze that began in 1962. The name of the dance came from the song it accompanies, Mashed Potato Time, performed by American R&B singer Dee Dee Sharp. The move vaguely resembles that of the Twist dance style, by Sharp?s fellow, Philadelphian, Chubby Checker.

　　Hot Potato

　　Hot Potato is an action puzzle video game released in 2001. In the game the player must drive a bus and clear the road of alien potato beings. The potato beings are either red or blue; when two same­color potatoes touch each other, they disappear. Over the years, Hot Potato has received mostly positive reception from critics.

　　Mr. Potato Head

　　Mr. Potato Head is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949. The toy consists of a plastic potato model and a variety of plastic parts like hands, feet, ears and mouths. In 1952, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy advertised on television. This commercial revolutionized marketing and caused a boom that solidified this toy?s place in American pop culture.
