    We are Toyota fans in my household.. have 4 of them :)  

    And the interesting fact? Apparently it was the year that the Stones first toured as the headline act :) And no, I am not a huge fan, but they are Brits and they are OK and I DID go see the exhibition re them at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in CLeveland :)

     If I remember correctly, wasn't the first 'Mr. Potato Head' a kit with all the limbs and accessories that used a real potato? I know I could google it, but I prefer human conversation sometimes, just like we did back a couple decades ago.

  • From what I remember? Yes it was as I was always looking for the best potato before my brother and sister got them!

    That is so cool. I have never seen one of these. I always kept modern Mr. Potato Heads around for when my friend's children would come over and they always loved them. There are so many simple ways to keep children entertained. Imagine that, a child of today getting potato juice on them from playing...
