You've heard of cars being lemons right? Well one fellow in Berlin angrily returned a PC he bought in a store because, as he claimed, when he opened the casing, he found potatos instead of computer parts.

The store quickly replaced the produce-filled PC, but became suscpicious when, a few days later, the gentleman returned with the second computer, saying he no longer needed one and wanted his money back.
