Playing With Food

 
I was driving home from the grocery store yesterday and the deejay on the radio was spinning moldy oldies and asking trivia questions. One of the questions was: “What was the first toy or game advertised directly to children on television?” The answer is (here).

  1. I did know he was originally a real potato. Imagine kids using one today

  2. As with Adam, I knew he was a real potato. As a matter of fact, that's how I played with him. I don't believe we ever wasted the food - that would have been a no-no in our house - so we probably dressed up the spud in the morning and ate him at night.

  4. Yes, I knew that one. Real potato bit is very funny to me. But then, who doesn't love a spud?
