Mr. Potato Head: The Original Veggie Accessory Starter Kit

Back in the 1950s, Mr. Potato Head wasn’t just a toy—it was a call to get creative with your actual veggies! Advertised to be used with real potatoes, other fruits, vegetables, and even clay, kids could literally dress up their snack before eating it.

Imagine a carrot nose or a tomato hat—snacking had never been so artistic (and slightly weird). It was part toy, part kitchen experiment, and 100% memorable. Thank goodness for plastic bodies today, because as fun as it sounds, those real potatoes had a serious expiration date. Still, Mr. Potato Head proved you can never underestimate the power of play… and produce!
