Houston dads started a potato war — the weapon is a delivery drone

When Walmart's drone delivery arrived in his Houston suburb, editor Nathan Edwards and a group chat of neighborhood dads spotted an irresistible loophole: the no-fee delivery could go to anyone's backyard, not just your own. Almost immediately, a potato landed in Edwards' yard — ordered, at 82 cents, by fellow dad Will — while another dad had already dispatched one to Will's. Turns out potatoes were simply 'the funniest possible answer' to the question of what to send. Wing, the drone operator, was amused enough to bless the scheme as long as friends consent. A suburban potato skirmish, delivered by air.
