Which pair of foods can be mailed through the U.S. Postal Service without a box?
Potatoes and coconuts
Onions and pineapples
Pumpkins and watermelons
Mangoes and avocados
Fact: Potatoes and coconuts can travel through the U.S. mail unboxed, with the destination and return addresses written directly on their surfaces or on securely attached labels. They still require appropriate postage, determined by weight. Mailing coconuts is especially popular on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, where the post office’s Post-a-Nut service has helped visitors send these unusual souvenirs since 1991. Mail a Spud sends russet potatoes decorated with personalized messages, turning the vegetable into an unexpected delivery.
Correct Answer: Potatoes and coconuts
