More poisonous potatoes can be found by scrolling through the home page. Once enough poisonous potatoes are consumed, the website will display Minecraft's death screen with an Elder Guardian's ghost.

The death message will read:

"You awoke the Toxifin. "

The score displayed below the message will be completely random and the respawn button will reset the entire page, giving users full health.

If you want a regular experience of the website, turn off the entire April Fools feature with a button on the left-hand side of the website.
