    Default New grocery ad description

    I was just looking at Kroger's ad for this week and had to laugh. Amid all the shrinking packages, they advertised an "Authentic 5 lb bag" of potatoes. Authentic? It's sad, but I guess that is something to brag about nowadays.

    Hahahaha...is that a store brand name perhaps? I think it'd be a poor choice for a store brand name if you're asking me.
