They *didn't* go bad in a day. I had them for more than a day. And I have
no problem eating the eyes. It was someone here that posted a link about
not eating potatoes that have sprouted. I have eaten sprouted potatoes in
the past with no problems. I must have gotten lucky there.

But I also mentioned the brown/black spots. On the *inside*. Most of the
potatoes I got a few years ago were that way.
