Preston’s SpudBros are to see their famous spud tram turn light blue this weekend.
Brothers Harley and Jacob Nelson are treating the city to free jacket potatoes all day.
It’s funded by social media superstar Mr Beast – and his Feastables chocolate bar brand.

Queues are set to be intense on the Flag Market during Saturday’s giveaway – which was revealed on the SpudBros TikTok.
Last week’s free spuds giveaway along with the chance to win £1,000 saw queues of more than two hours at its peak.
As well as free Spuds there’s also a free Feastables chocolate bar for each person in the queue along with prize challenges.
The event runs from 11am to 4pm on Saturday (19 April).
The first 50 customers in the queue on the Saturday receive a ‘Mystery Box’ which will include a SpudBros black card. Last week a raffle saw one lucky potato-lover scoop a £1,000 prize – and in a video last week the pair indicated they would be giving away £10,000 this week.
The free day is funded by Mr Beast AKA Jimmy Donaldson – who has more than 385 million subscribers on YouTube. He was filmed handing over a bank card to the SpudBros and telling them to treat their 4.1million followers. A spokesperson for SpudBros confirmed to Blog Preston, despite social media rumours circulating, that Mr Beast would not be present at the Flag Market event.
The Nelson brothers have seen their social media following rapidly accelerate with their Flag Market potato tram antics becoming a viral sensation across TikTok and other social media platforms. They’ve since opened a SpudBros Express in London and are eyeing up further locations – including in Manchester.
