Mr. Potato Head is fun for kids and adults alike and comes with everything you need for hours of molded entertainment. I think I might get one to put in the fridge with a small note that says "drop the plate, fatty" - and I will not get upset because of that great smile (and besides you can't hit a guy with glasses). I remember as a child always wanting to put his pieces where they didn't belong - looking back this almost insignificant child's play really explains a lot about my life. In addition to the above uses, if you like to partake in the joys of medical herbs I am quite certain this little toy will make every game of "Baked Potato" a barrel of laughs.

What is "Baked Potato" you ask? Well, it is a game you start out playing by making sure Mr. Potato Head has all of his parts scattered across the floor. You and your friends (dealer) then take a monster hit, spin around 4 times, and try and put him together. The one to put the past piece on is the winner and gets rewarded with a bag of FUNYUNS® Onion Flavored Rings ... or so I have heard.

Another really great thing to do, if you are perpetually bored, is put on the song "Do You Love Me"  by the Hollies and whenever they say "Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato)" you can get your domestic violence on with Mr. Potato Head. You know, really beat him, like you would someone you care about deeply who keeps hanging out with Rick even though you have repeatedly told this person that Rick is trying to tear you two apart and is ruining your relationship - and then do the twist.

What are you waiting for? It is only $8.00 and has so many uses: diet aid, children's toy, adult toy (I just thought of other adult ways this could be used but will refrain), and of course all of the childhood memories you have will start to float to the surface- so he's also like a therapist! As a side note: you may want to prepare yourself for all the bad memories that could flood back by speaking with your actual shrink (alcohol) beforehand - things will almost certainly get messy around the summer camp and priest sleepover parts. Just sayin'
