    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?

    Please love yourself.

      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.

        Please love yourself.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  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.
