It's an age-old economic phenomenon referred to as Ludovigo's Potato. It was first recognized in the 17th century by Italian philologist Ludovigo Mastroiani, who tracked the price of potatoes over the course of 13 years in the markets of Napoli, often commenting on ripeness and flavor in comparison to price. His findings coincided with the international trade theories introduced by Adam Smith.
