Oh, there was a Mrs. Potato Head around years before Toy Story ever came out. We got a Mrs. Potato Head when I was a child, probably a good five years or so before Toy Story.

I am obviously of a pre ToyStory age

Ohh that’s good , I’ve never come across her.

The world has gone mad.

Should have not could have!

There is a Mrs Potato Head. She's even mentioned in the first Toy Story film

No I don’t believe Mr Potato Head had a family?He could have been gender neutral!

Wasn't there ever a Mrs Potato Head too ? I'm not that familiar with this toy.

Possibly for Fear of being accused or even prosecuted for mis- titling someone. ?

Why are we kowtowing to these people? I have no issue whatsoever with gay or transgender people but please don't keep trying to change things. All of us have to live in a world with attitudes and opinions we may not agree with but we have to get on with it.

What will happen to the Mr. Men??????? sad

vampirequeen Thu 04-Mar-21 09:15:59

It's not happening. We will still have gender based potato heads.

Bridgeit Thu 04-Mar-21 09:14:28

Ok thanks , I will take a look

Grandmabatty Thu 04-Mar-21 09:05:11

There is a thread on this already

The toy formally known as Mr Potato Head is now going to be renamed ‘Potato Head’ in order to comply with Gender identification/ non identification.
Any thoughts?
