  • Artist George Lerner gave the world Mr. Potato Head. Since discovering them in 3,000 B.C. humans have found that potatoes can be boiled, baked, fried, mashed, steamed, whipped, and of course, adorned with human plastic body parts. This is the Mr. Potato Head Edition of Where's the Fun from? (WTFF)

    When I was a kid, I had a nightmare. I lost PotatoHead's left arm and legs, a few days later I had a dream he floated out of my closet and bit off my legs and my right arm and said "You'd better follow me or I'll bite off your other arm and your head!" So I sadly said okay and he levitated me to my closet, then I woke up and swore to never play with PotatoHead again.

    Yes, Twitter almost imploded on February 25, 2021 over the gender of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. Hasbro tweeted, “While it was announced today that the POTATO HEAD brand name & logo are dropping the ‘MR.’ I yam proud to confirm that MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD aren’t going anywhere and will remain MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD."

      I think it's a dumb Marketing Stunt. Sounds like it's trying to breach an audience that I don't even think is even interested to Potato head toys. I can only think they did this to be the first "Inclusive" Toy in the market but IDK how a toy is not inclusive if a toy for me is a physical manifestation of a concept/idea.
