Update: Hasbro changed their minds and will not go gender-neutral. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head will continue on, hopefully for at least another 70 years.
Maybe the whole thing was just a marketing gimmick. Or, perhaps this was a trial balloon that fell flat.
ORIGINAL STORY
Hasbro, the company that makes Mr. Potato Head, is giving the spud a gender-neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year.
Hasbro said Mr. Potato Head, which has been around for about 70 years, needed a modern makeover.
No more Mister? That’s modern? Why? The only reason is to indoctrinate babies and toddlers.
