Grenades Found in a Potato Shipment - as part of the news and politics series by GeoBeats.

Many say potatoes are bad for our health but who knew they could be this dangerous.

A processing plant in Greece found two grenades in a German potato shipment during unpacking. The first discovery was made during the washing stage when a strange sound was found but fortunately the grenade didn't have a detonator.

This scenario unfolded in Atalanti, which is located to the North of Athens.

Hand grenades were among the most prolific weapons used during world war II.

They still keep turning up in various countries.

Early April, 2012, a 3 year old boy in UK found a live grenade during an easter hunt. The site used to be an American army base during the war.

In another instance, a grenade was found at Efteling, the largest theme park in Netherlands. The grenade was found during construction work for a new fountain attraction.

And in yet another incident, according to BBC, a grenade was found in Nottinghamshire, UK at a recycling plant. The bomb which already had his fuse removed was discovered in a scarp metal bin.

Who knows how many of these grenades are yet to be found in neighborhoods around the world?
