<p>NZ Prime Minister shared her weirdest fan mail ever, which just so happened to be a raw potato with her face on it.</p>
<p>She shared it on her Instagram page, delighting over the raw potato that was sent in a box filled with other goodies such as chocolates and party poppers.</p>
<p>The spud featured a photo of Ardern on one side and some potato puns on the other.</p>
<p>"I get sent some amazing things. I get sent some interesting things. And sometimes, I get sent a potato," the Labor leader capturing a photo of the package.</p>
<p>"Thank you to whoever sent it to me, the accompanying puns were spectacular."</p>
<p>The lid of the box accurately declared 'You'd never guess what's inside'.</p>

<p>Fans were eager to know what puns were on the spud, with Arden saying that the potato congratulated her on her recent re-election.</p>
<p>"Congrats on your spud-tacular victory. You s-mash-ed it again," the potato reads.</p>
<p>"Who knew you could fit more than one potato pun on an actual potato," Arden joked.</p>
<p>The spud sender, Srinivas Kalokota said that he posted the potato to congratulate Ardern.</p>
<p>“She loved the gift [but] people are confused and wondering who sent this potato and what it is all about,” Kalakota said.</p>
<p>He's launched an online service called Potato Post NZ, which has an aim of "spreading love, one potato at a time".</p>
<p>“We wouldn't allow hate potatoes. We have a disclaimer that says we won't do it,” he said.</p>
