Mr Potato Head brand is no longer a mister (but still a potato)
 

[Manufacturers Hasbro opt for gender-neutral brand name
Company says Mr and Mrs Potato Head characters will still exist
Hasbro created confusion on Thursday when it removed
the gender from its Mr Potato Head brand, but not from the actual toy.

The company, which has been making the
potato-shaped plastic toy for nearly 70 years,
announced Thursday morning that it was
dropping “Mr” from the brand in an effort
to make sure “all feel welcome in the Potato Head world”.
That set off a social media frenzy over the beloved toy.

Later that afternoon, Hasbro clarified in
a tweet that the Mr and Mrs Potato Head
characters will still exist, names and all,
but the branding on the box will say “Potato Head”.]

This Woke Madness

:laugh2:

I love how people have decided this is another “snowflake” issue when the truth is more likely that’s it’s cheaper to produce a nowhere near as popular as it used to be toy with no discernible features and let the kids make it either male or female with the parts.

Looks like you’ve posted FAKE NEWS arista

Now when "women" can sometimes produce sperm, and "men" sometimes can produce eggs, let's not have anything gender specific in case we insult the 0.01% of the population that this might affect.

The heading came from the Guardian
not me.


Your thread got Deleted
Smithy King of Fake Threads

What thread? The one that said (Rumour)?

As Josy said, it was valid because it was a rumour

You clearly just post whatever FAKE NEWS you see online without fact checking

It's also up on the BBC news website.

...it literally says “Mr/Mrs” on the box

That’s not the same as the one posted above, and it looks like that’s a bigger/ “family” box

It’s not going to say “Mr & Mrs & Child Potato Head”

In 5 languages too :skull:

Hablo espanol puta??

More “Mr/Mrs” than ever before and people still complain!

It's Front Page

Its in the news today.
Smithy

All it is is a re-brand. Not sure why its even making the headlines. :shrug:

The individual toys are still Mr and Mrs - they have just a more generic brand name (which makes more sense considering there was always a mr and mrs)

They are loving Worldwide media
going on about it.

Another issue that trans people literally don't care about lol and this is just used for fuel for right wingers "snowflake!!!" jibes. just stop killing trans people please.

Who is killing trans people though?

Did you even read the headlines?

LBC: Mr Potato Head isn’t going anywhere', Hasbro says after gender neutral move

Independent: Toy company also assures fans ‘Mr Potato Head isn’t going anywhere’

Guardian: Company says Mr and Mrs Potato Head characters will still exist
