American license plates are pretty darn interesting when you consider the drab white and yellow rectangles found in Europe. For something that's on a car for a purely practical purpose, they're surprisingly artistic. Well, some of them at least. You can thank Idaho for this North American quirk (Canada and Mexico have a similar concept), when in 1928 the state issued a green license plate with letters stamped into a brown potato and the words IDAHO POTATOES on the bottom. It was basically forcing its citizens to advertise Idaho's cash crop when traveling outside the state. People hated it and it went away after a year (although "Famous Potatoes" saying would appear in the 1950s and never go away), but it established the tradition of states first putting slogans and nicknames and the bottom of their plates, followed eventually by unique emblems and designs.
