German hand grenade in bag French potatoes discovered in Hong Kong

Employees of a potato chip factory in Hong Kong did not know what they saw when they discovered a hand grenade in a bag of potatoes this week.

According to local authorities, it was a German hand grenade from the First World War. The explosive has probably disappeared in a bag simultaneously with the harvesting of the potatoes. That happened on French soil. The hand grenade, more than a hundred years old, was then transported by ship to Asia.
