Play-Doh, you've got some explaining to do. Here's a toy making 101 tip - don't develop any children's toys in the shape of a penis or you will be buried in parent complaints.In the case of Play-Doh's Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Playset, the frosting extruder piece looks less like a cake decorating tool and more...well, penis-y. Don't think that's going to go unnoticed by parents.
There were plenty of complaints (though we're sure little kids were probably none the wiser) and some hilarious commentary about the toy, so Play-Doh took to Facebook to offer a replacement extruder:
"We have heard some consumer feedback about the extruder tool in the Play-Doh Cake Mountain playset and are in the process of updating all future Play-Doh products with a different tool. Should any consumer want a replacement extruder for this item, they can contact Hasbro's Customer Service Department at 800-327-8264."
I hope nobody got the Play-Doh icing set for Christmas :') #DlDoh pic.twitter.com/Q2IFPGnhFd
