Mr. Potato Head a gender makeover.
In an effort to “promote gender equality and inclusion,’’ the company said the beloved toy will be replaced with a gender-neutral Potato Head this year, the Associated Press reports.
“Hasbro is making sure all feel welcome in the Potato Head world by officially dropping the Mr. from the Mr. Potato Head brand name and logo to promote gender equality and inclusion,” the company said in a statement on Thursday. The toy first arrived on store shelves in 1952.
