Good morning, REST IN PEACE, MR. AND MRS. POTATO HEAD Welcome, “Potato Head” (not Mr. or Mrs.). The makers of the iconic Mr. Potato Head (voiced by the politically incorrect Don Rickles in the Toy Story movies) and Mrs. Potato Head have decided to de-gender the toys. It seems every reasonable idea (to wit, trying to acknowledge that there are those who gender-identify differently than the two genders generally associated with sexual organs) “jumps the shark” and goes too far. That said, Hasbro is a company that has the right to make decisions about the names of its toys.
