In my younger days when I’d only clean out the fridge when there was literally no space to fit anything else in it, I’d get to the containers in the back and wonder “I wonder what this used to be?” And “I wonder what it is now?” Then I’d wonder how unpleasant it would be to open and clean the container, or if I should just chuck the whole thing in the trash and buy new containers.
But in a tweet later that afternoon, Hasbro clarified that while the brand is changing, the actual Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head characters will still live on and be sold in stores. In a picture posted on Twitter, the “Mr.” and “Mrs.” names are less prominently displayed at the bottom of the box, instead of the top.
“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,” the company tweeted.
Are you paying any attention at all? Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato Head have not changed. The only thing that has changed is the name of the line of toys. It’s the equivalent of referring to your family as the People Eater family, rather than the Mr. People Eater family.
Don’t forget smearing poop on the walls. I think I’d pass on that tour.
