Something suspicious is happening and it involves a potato, a red jacket and Malta.An X post has sparked a hilarious online theory that Ireland’s iconic Mr Tayto is now living a second life in Malta.According to the viral joke, the beloved crisp mascot has entered “witness protection” and is now going by the name Mr Riley.The post, which was later reshared by Lovin Dotie, points to the striking resemblance, complete with a red jacket and top hat, as “evidence” of the transformation.This isn’t the first time Mr Riley has been at the centre of the comparison. Back in 2023, Irish comedian and musician Garron Noone criticised Malta for what he called the “bastardisation of our lord and saviour Mr Tayto”.Mr Riley’s origins date back to 1974, created through a joint venture between Murphy Crisps in Dublin and Riley Potatoes Crisps in the UK, blending influences from both brands.So… has Mr Tayto really been relocated to Malta?Credit: @lovindotie•
