Bette Midler stormed Twitter weighing in on the Mr. Potatoe Head controversy, according to Fox News.

“#Hasbro announced they are removing ‘Mr.’ from Mr. Potato Head’s label, but that Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head will still exist. I can’t believe people are worried about THAT, when what they SHOULD be worried about is how you store a bunch of dismembered body parts in the potato’s a–!” Midler joked.

“Good to know that Mrs Potato Head is there to help pack his… stuff,” one user wrote.

“Bit of a Jeepers Creepers vibe going on,” another retorted.

“People worry about the strangest things, and its the absolute minority who wreck it for the majority. Some really sad people out there. The fear of upsetting one or two (usually idiots) overwhelms society. We really need to stop pandering and live a little,” another said.

“Really? People are worried about plastic toys now? The meaning behind effin toys is what people with nothing better to do (obviously) spend their time doing. All crazy.”

“While I’m all for not pushing gender on clothes and toys, who as a child only used the Mr. parts and the Mrs. parts separately? Didn’t we all just mix them up? Kids know it doesn’t matter. Why couldn’t they just make a potato without a gender and keep the Mr. & Mrs.?”

“Culture has evolved,” Kimberly Boyd said. “Kids want to be able to represent their own experiences. The way the brand currently exists — with the ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’ — is limiting when it comes to both gender identity and family structure.”

More from Fox News:

Midler is known for sharing her opinions on Twitter, mostly on the country’s current political divide. Most recently, however, she targeted the late Rush Limbaugh just days after his death.

The actress and singer shared a piece of artwork from television writer and cartoonist Ron Hauge that depicts eight members of the Ku Klux Klan in their recognizable white hoods and robes. One, however, is sporting the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Limbaugh was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at Donald Trump’s State of the Union address in 2020.

While the political cartoon came less than a week after the news broke, she took to Twitter on the day the radio host’s wife announced his passing to insinuate that he is in Hell.
