French agronomist Antoine-Augustin Parmentier dedicated his career to 'hyping' the potato, known only as hog feed in the 1780s. He went so far as to hire armed guards that were ordered to allow potato theft in exchange for bribes. Such tactics were successful, with the plant soon becoming a staple of the European diet.
