1952 Mr. Potato Head

In 1949, Mr. Potato Head was invented by George Lerner. He would take potatoes and fruits from his mother's garden and create various dolls called the "Funny-Faced Man" for his little sisters to play with. This invention lead him to develope the man with a potato for a head, which would often have the hat, ears, eyes, nose, moustache, mouth, and pipe. This "Funny-Faced Man" character later became "Mr. Potato Head." Lerner gave the parts to "Cereal" factories as a "Prize in the Box." The "Hassenfield Brothers" later bought permanent rights to distribute the "Mr. Potato Head" character as their own creation. The very first "Mr. Potato Head" product was released on May 1st, 1952."
