    I saw this story earlier about Mr. Potato Head going gender neutral. The thing that struck me is that companies don’t often kowtow to political trends unless there’s a profit motive.

    And then it hit me. They are basically consolidating 2 separate products into one. Redesign the box with Mr. on one side and Mrs. on the other, all the same parts go in each box, and the stores can simply display the boxes however they see fit.

    From a manufacturing and supply chain perspective, this will save them hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don’t usually applaud things done for the sake of political whims, but when you can manipulate those whims to make money, that’s using your potato head.

                          Insinuating that mrs. Obama is a man isn't exactly name-calling but... I know it's hard to keep up with.

                            Still making both Mr. & Mrs. Potatohead.  I think this is nonsense but in my list of outrage items it doesn’t crack the top 20.

                                      It's just the beginning of the end.
