Since its invention in 1949, Potato Heads have come along way. Originally they were sold as a kit of plastic parts that you stuck into real potatoes but government legislation soon stopped this as it was deemed dangerous with kids sticking parts into their siblings. It was also the first toy that was ever advertised on national television.
Since the original Mr Potato Head was a bit lonely Mrs Potato Head was created (but ever since she started moaning Mr Potato Head has regretted this decision!) and along came the accessories. He has also appeared in movies (most famously the Toy Story trilogy) and has been a “spokes potato” for several causes (including being the “front potato” for the American Cancer society commercials by Burger King).
Now Mr Potato Head has left the misses at home and found a passion for football (typical male I hear you say) and is now available as Mr Potato Head Manchester United, Mr Potato Head Liverpool, Mr Potato Head Chelsea and Mr Potato Head Arsenal.
