HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
American soldiers would intentionally throw potatoes into German trenches

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
American soldiers would intentionally throw potatoes into German trenches during World War I. You see, when the Germans noticed something flying their way, they panicked and dove for cover, thinking it was a grenade. So even if they ran out of actual weapons, a thrown potato gave them a few seconds to change position or rush the trench.
