I have just read that Mr Potato Head (you know that cute little toy that many of our children had) is now gender neutral and is now just Potato Head.

I do hope someone has told Mrs Potato Head about her husband ?

JaneJudge Thu 25-Feb-21 20:52:25

but there was a Mrs Potato head??? it was even in Toy story 2 fgs
who is Mrs Potato Head now - the ex wife?

Not sure even calling them that is allowed under the terms of being woke and PC. Isn't it a slight against potatoes all over the world? How do the potatoes feel about this. Is this just some human superiority thing?

And next week Disney will be adding a warning to the beginning of all Toy Story movies that they contain potato stereotypes that some viewers may find offensive.

Mx Potato Head is the correct polite form.
let's not be over-familiar.

First they take his pipe away and now they take his masculinity ?

It’s chips for him (it) (them) (they) then. ?

Has Mr or Mrs PotatoHead complained?

Casdon Thu 25-Feb-21 22:00:35

grandmajet no pronouns necessary - just Pothead will do.

Grannynannywanny Thu 25-Feb-21 22:00:59

Chips sound very a peeling

Mrs Potato Head had the last word. She flounced off after announcing “ I yam what I yam”

Doodle Thu 25-Feb-21 22:15:34

If they had children would they be chips off the old block?
Will there still be a moustache in the box I wonder, or lipstick?

Perhaps they waffle?

LauraNorder Thu 25-Feb-21 23:03:36

I bet she gave him a roasting for that decision. Will they keep their titles, the Dauphin and Dauphinois? Will she be interviewed wearing a jacket? Will he join her later?

Perhaps they’ll drown their sorrows and get mashed.
