Hasbro, known for making many games and toys, including the iconic Mr. Potato Head, has now revealed that the Mr. is being dropped from the classic toy’s name. The company noted “mister” would be dropped, and the name is now just “Potato Head.”
Hasbro addressed the change after the toy began to trend because of the name change. Via Twitter, Hasbro said, “Hold that Tot – your main spud, MR. POTATO HEAD isn’t going anywhere! 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"
Hasbro’s Senior Vice President Kimberly Boyd spoke on the change as well, saying, “Culture has evolved. Kids want to be able to represent their own experiences. The way the brand currently exists—with the 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.'—is limiting when it comes to both gender identity and family structure."
