When I heard this on Radio 4 this morning I did wonder how long it would be before a thread appeared on NSC. My money was on an outraged Gammon but, instead, it's Crodo taking his trawling net far away from where it can get caught on the Greenpeace boulders.

:vuvu:

Except they’re not.


It’s only the firm branding that has become gender neutral, not the actual toys themselves.

You will still be able to buy’Mr Potato head’ or ‘Mrs Potato head’ made under the brand name ‘Potato head’.

I hope this isn't next. Just won't sound the same without the Mr.

I mean of course if you’d actually looked in to what you’re getting upset about you’d realise they’re only changing the brand name and you can still buy a Mr/Mrs Potato Head which will be labelled as such.

Clever bit of marketing because Hasbro must have known what the outcome would be, and it opens them up to expand the range in the same way those shit “funko pop” figures have. Slap any popular intellectual property on to the product and sell them as collectible sets. Massive profit.

Imagine having so little going on in your life that you manage to find the time to be furious because a company has changed the branding of a toy it makes

Why does it have to be a potato? Other vegetables are being excluded here, so I' like to launch 'Mung Bean Human' - which allows you to decorate said pulse with blank features so as not to offend.

I'm just messing. I don't think growing up in the 70's would have been ruined if Mr Potato Head wasn't a Mr.

Depends on the spud you use, Charlotte and King Edward for instance... Mind you, this will be another hammer blow for Lightly Baked ( Potato)! Everything he holds dear is slowly falling apart.
