Do kids care or even think it looks like a penis?? I doubt it. It is the parents that are causing the stir and sadly sexuallising the product. Is it that they can't stand to see little Suzie handling the phalic thing or is it worse when little Billy puts it near his mouth??
The parents are the problem let the kids play.
Oh, yes, they do. There's one in every crowd. When your kid is happily playing with a toy, another one will come along and point out a flaw. Something like that happened to my son when he was six. The neighbor's son--and then all of the rest of the kids on the street--started calling him Barbie. There's no way I'd let any child of mine play with something that look like a plastic penis.
I find it amazing to think when someone presented this idea to a group of people at Hasbro, not one of them said they thought it looked a bit like a penis.
If I had seen this toy before reading about the brouhaha, I wouldn't have thought anything about it. I'm not sure how else a play-doh "frosting" decorator with nozzle could be shaped.
That was my thought. You need a straight tube and an extruder tip in a cone shape. I really don't see how else to do this. I guess they could have made it like a gun with a trigger pump but that would have gotten them in hot water too.

They probably did but how else would you make a play doh frosting extruder? It's going to look like a syringe with a cone tip because play doh is thick. It needs to be cylindrical so a plunger can be used to extrude the playdoh. I suppose they could have camouflaged it as an icing bag by having a covering but that's all I've got. Basically you need a cylinder topped with a cone shaped extruder and I'm sorry but that does resemble a part of the body. People really need to get over this. Yes, a large syringe with a cone tip looks like a penis. So what?
What's next? Ball Park Franks? Corn dogs on a stick?
Gimme a break!
