Shopper sparks debate and says 'life is a lie' after discovering symbol on bag of potatoes

A shopper has questioned whether her "whole life is a lie" - all because she spotted a symbol on her bag of potatoes.

TikTok user @bethking61 took to the social media platform to share the discovery after doing her food shop, showing in a short video clip that her bag of potatoes sported fridge symbol with simple instructions written underneath: "At home store below 5°C." The five short words sparked a huge debate over the right way to store potatoes, with many people adamant that they had always been told to store them in the cupboard.

Questioning whether the suggestion to keep them refrigerated was a new move from supermarkets, the shopper asked: "Does anyone else keep their potatoes in the fridge? Is my whole life a lie? Maybe I have been living under a rock but I always thought they belonged in a dark cupboard?"
