Mr. Potato Head Is Getting A New Name

Goodbye "Mr. Potato Head," hello "Potato Head." Hasbro, the company that makes the toy spud that you always lost the parts for, says it's time for a change, so, they're dropping the, "Mister."

Toy makers have been updating their classic lineups. American Girl now has a boy doll available, Barbie comes in multiple skin tones and body shapes, and now Mr. Potato Head has a gender neutral name. But what will happen to Mrs. Potato Head?

They're also coming out with a "Create Your Potato Head Family" kit with two potato parents and a potato baby. The video announcing the kit said it was for "modern families" and featured a variety of family makeups, including with same-sex potato parents.
