Tater in the tater toys is a short form for the word potato. The story of tater tots started by the Griggs sibling in their kitchen. They are the founders of Ore-Ida, an American brand of frozen potato. The two siblings were trying to finish off the leftovers ingredients, and suddenly, tater tots happened.
Surprised by the deliciousness of the seasoned deep-fried potato, they started to commercialise tater tots. Though the taste of tater tots is jaw-dropping, people still won’t accept tater tots. The source of this problem was probably because of the price of the tater tots. Not because of the high price, but because of the low price of the tater tots. It was so cheap that people were sceptical of the value and taste.
To solve the problem, the two brothers raised the price and it was the best solution. People started to buy tater tots and enjoyed the taste. The Griggs were selling the tots at a cheap price because of the easy ingredients and preparations. Nowadays, tater tots are among the most consumed snacks by the Americans.
