Hehehe. I always find it amazing just how creative people are when answering an apparently simple question.
For example, a simple "date" box- WHY does someone think "Tuesday" is a good answer?
The Mr Potato Head & Mrs Potato Head toys are still the same.
"Mr Potato Head" was the brand name, so there were "Mr Potato Head Mr Potato Head" and "Mr Potato Head Mrs Potato Head" toys. Now it's renamed so there's "Potato head Mr Potato Head" and "Potato Head Mrs Potato Head" toys.
There's no new genders or changing of existing geners of the toy...

LOL I have no idea! Used to get this a lot with forms. Maybe people genuinely didn't know what it meant.

Hey on another note.... can anyone remember the Mr Frosty? The machine you could make ice in the bath? They still sell that.
Does that mean we might see a Mrs Frosty now?
This is a perfect opportunity for all toys to jump on the bandwagon.

I'm currently reviewing a load of historic documentation for inclusion in a new system. Jeez, the things I have seen. A few examples of what I have seen in "Date"
"Tuesday"
"28"
"28 February" (no year)
"Don't know"/ "Unknown"
"Check with Dave"
"Yesterday"
And so on...
The ingenuity of fools astounds me.

It's dev's fault though using a text field for a date is derpy.

Agreed. But I'm also finding similar issues with some internal data. That's management's fault for letting people use excel to create their own records.
You wouldn't let a chimp drive a tractor, would you?
Honestly it doesn;t matter what I think.
My point is that people are getting upset over a BRAND going from Mr.Potatohead to Potato Head, whilst still keeping a Mr. Potato head AND Mrs. Potato head.
For the people who can't seem to read / care:
People here are trying to make an issue out of literally nothing. All because to OP (contrary to what he posted) has riled up people because they think there's a culture war on with a toy.
A toy.
More evidence of male superiority, why does Mr.P have more parts?
