Well, in fairness the changeover is a lot easier. Changing back, too.

Well, all I can say is, now that there's a Mrs. Potato Head, I feel a thousand times more liberated.

It's a good change. "Female Mr. Potato Head," "Mrs. Mr. Potato Head" etc. just sounds stupid grammatically.
Which, yes, brings me to the old-timey construction of women using their husband's name socially. (e.g., "Mrs. John Doe.") First of all, that's just confusing as hell. Is John differently gendered, or simply a woman? If we're talking about Jane, then why the hell don't we use Jane's actual name?

I thought cross dressing Mr. Potato was a thing back in the day.

It was. As was using Mr. Potato Head as target practice.
Mine ate a lot of arrows to the face.

Funny I’ve seen this posted twice - by people on each side of the embedded issues. Both seemed to see it as making fun of the other side.

Like I said before I think back in the day the name of the game for Mr. Potato Head was to make the funniest intersectional creation.
This is all about boosting sales.
