ButterStuffed Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think the meme started during early DST in a Fireside Chat stream in which the dev Seth Rosen told a story about the time he went camping and made a cup out of a potato. I'm not entirely sure if that is where it started but that's the earliest mention of the potato cup I can remember. I also found an article about DST where Seth tells the story at the end. "When I was twelve or so, I went to a wilderness survival type summer camp: at the end of the month, you got put out in the woods with limited supplies and were left to survive on your own for a night. That night, I learned that picking berries in the wild is a painfully slow process, making a fire with flint and steel is really hard, that hot dogs taste like salami when they haven't been cooked, and that potatoes are really gross and starchy when they haven't been cooked, but if you carve up the potato, it can make for an okay cup so you don't have to kneel with your face in a stream just to have a drink of water." The article If something I said was incorrect feel free to correct me. I'm not up to snuff with meme lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlogy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I think the meme truly took off after @nome was testing the trade system and made the Potato Cup Skin. Could be wrong, but that's just me making assumptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyNamedChris Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Adding on to what @Weird Wanderer said: After Seth left Klei, there was a bunch of new trinkets added, the Potato Cup being one of them (not to mention the most rewarding when given to Pig King, but why would you ever do that?). It's a nice small tribute to #RememberSeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sips are hard coded into our system however so instead we are experimenting with a multi use cup that you can both eat and drink, and of course still use as a trinket. (We cannot go devaluing the worth of the potato cup, the DST economy is a fragile ecosystem.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
