    I don't know, Mrs. Potato Head is looking pretty hot. I'd do her with a little butter, sour cream, and some chives.


    I'm a sad, lonely little man...

    This was actually the Second worst press release. Nobody speaks of the Lay's Olestra incident of '92.


    Poor Potato Head Jr.

    we will all miss him.

    I'd go to that. Approach with a menacing grin, a handful of chives, and a 5 gallon institutional bucket of sour cream.

    Shouldn't this be called "GMC Potatohead" and "Chevy Potatohead"?

    All the ePRS (patent pending) could manage was:


    Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head to visit Chicago.


    We hope you waste your day with us in hopes you win* a Mr. or Mrs. Potato Head.


    *Must be present to win. Must prove Loser citizenship. Pedophiles and Bridgestone employees/families are not eligible to win.

    Who "acclaimed" these ads?! I only saw write-ups that made fun of them or just left them out of the Super Bowl ad analysis altogether.
