So when it comes to Robertson's Big Potato, I'm definitely a fan.
I have fond memories of travelling up the Illawarra Highway with my family as a child to see the spud.
This trip also included a visit to Carrington Falls, the Robertson Cheese Factory and the famous Robertson Pie Shop.
Most Highlanders have a spud story to share.
For residents, the landmark is a symbol of history and humour.
It's a reminder that with all the village has to offer, its residents maintain a sense of humility and the ability to laugh.
The Big Potato has put the Southern Highlands on the map, as a part of Australia's big things list.
However another list has had tongues wagging of late.
Robertson was recently mentioned in a S**t Towns of Australia's weekly power rankings list.
The Facebook page, with more than 185,000 fans, regularly divides its audience with its weekly lists.
Robertson made it to the list for "giant poo-shaped potato listed for sale for nearly a million bucks".
Comparisons aside, if you think this landmark is small potatoes, think again.

The Big Potato brings in tourist dollars and increases visitation to the village.
The landmark's co-owner Neil Tait, who has put the spud up for sale, said people flocked to the potato for photos from dusk until dawn.
Big Potato merchandise and Sebago potatoes also bring in revenue to support the village.
Mr Tait said people who live outside of the Highlands drive to Robertson on a regular basis to buy kilos of spuds.
Some customers regularly purchased 60 (yes, 6-0) kilos of potatoes to take home to their families and friends.
Not to mention the flow-on effects to other businesses along Hoddle Street, the Illawarra Highway and beyond.
People's lives and livelihoods are boosted by the Big Potato.

At a time when bushfires, floods and Coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns are affecting businesses, we need to embrace every tourist attraction we can.
In particular, many farms, wineries and businesses have been directly and indirectly affected by the recent bushfires.
While the monument brings humour to the community, let's not forget the social benefits behind the satire.
