The “Mr. Potato Head” Brand Is Going Gender-Neutral as Just “Potato Head”

Hasbro just announced they’re making the Mr. Potato Head brand gender-neutral.  What does that mean?  Right now, all of the various Potato Head toys fall under the “Mr. Potato Head”…

Hasbro just announced they're making the Mr. Potato Head brand gender-neutral.  What does that mean?  Right now, all of the various Potato Head toys fall under the "Mr. Potato Head" brand name and logo.  Hasbro is changing that to just "Potato Head," but they'll still sell separate versions of Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato Head.  In other words, this seems to be a rebranding tool.  Much like Dunkin' Donuts changing its name to just Dunkin' because they sell more than just donuts.  How do you feel about the change?
