I never understood why in the US (North America? Europe?) children do this experiment with potatoes. Use a citric fruit instead, much better at moving ions around.

    I think it’s because every American thinks they’re Irish

    I think its because potatoes rot a lot slower giving the kid time to enjoy the clock.
