FULL SCRIPT:
British planes would intentionally drop bags of potatoes over Germany during World War II. You see, the flying potato bags fooled Nazi radars, making them think hundreds of bombers were approaching. They used this trick to cover the real bombers. But because the bags also confused their own radars, the bombs rarely reached their targets and the potato project was quickly cancelled.
