A mister no more: Mr. Potato Head goes gender neutral
By JOSEPH PISANIan hour ago

NEW YORK (AP) — Mr. Potato Head is no longer a mister.

Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, is giving the spud a gender neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year.

Toy makers have been updating their classic brands to appeal to kids today. Barbie has shed its blonde image and now comes in multiple skin tones and body shapes. Thomas the Tank Engine added more girl characters. And American Girl is now selling a boy doll.

Hasbro said Mr. Potato Head, which has been around for about 70 years, needed a modern makeover.

But, now they can't hang Mrs Potatohead clothes on Mr Potatohead to make him trans or bi or whatever the fuck.

Words cannot describe how much I loathe woke culture and the progressive left. I don't know how some of you can be married to democrats.

Mr Potato Head has been dead to me since I blew him up in the ditch behind the house in '87.

The new version is a sad sign of the times, but I bet an m80 still has the same effect, regardless of gender (or lack thereof). So still functional in my book

What do you do with Mr. Potato Head? Yes, you make funny faces.

What color is Mr. Potato Head? Yes, brown.

How dare you make fun of Potatoes Of Color!

There’s a war against men especially white men. Why would they need to give Mr. Potato Head a gender neutral name when there’s already a Ms. Potato head? Why? Because men aren’t wanted anymore.

Not being able to make a woke potato is probably why they're killing it.  Not woke, disappeared.

Should have shortened the name even further to just Pot Head.

I'm surprised it's not lgbtxyz potato head
and comes in 16 different colors

my sister has a huge tote of potato heads both Mrs. and Mr. because one of my nieces was a huge collector.
niece turned out normal, I doubt the potato heads had much to with it.

That’s fine, my life just got easier. I’ll be using Potato Head for everyone’s pronoun moving forward. Mr. Jones?....Mrs. Jones?....Miss Jones?....nope, don’t care any more. You’re Potato Head Smith now.
