The Associated Press reported, “Hasbro, the company that makes the potato-shaped plastic toy, is giving the spud a gender-neutral new name: Potato Head. The change will appear on boxes this year.”

They also wrote, Hasbro said the 70-year-old toy needed a “modern makeover.”

Some conservatives mocked the presumed “woke” direction Hasbro took on Twitter.

The founder and Editor Emeritus of the Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro, tweeted, “Bigotry ANNIHILATED.”

Now any child, of any gender, can look at a Potato Head and dream of growing up to be a plastic spheroid with interchangeable parts.

New York Young Republican Club President, Gavin Wax, took the opportunity to compare CNN Anchor, Brian Stelter, to Potato Head “itself.”

Hasbro has no right to decide that Brian Stelter is no longer a Mr.

He will continue to be called Mr. Potato Head until he tells me his preferred pronouns.
