Play-Doh Penisgate
Delighted tykes across the globe have been enjoying their new Cake Mountain toy set which comes with every tool you need to make a yummy Play-Doh cake.
But some parents took to social media this week concerned that the icing tool included in the kit bears an uncanny resemblance to another kind of ‘tool’.
Others bemused;
This come with cake mountain play-doh set 4 kids, #Hmmm pic.twitter.com/nq6BO30pzk — Jason Householder (@HouseholderJ) December 27, 2014
Some saw the funny side; Others were less convinced by this innocent cock-up.

Redditor hacksaw123 commented; ‘You know what you’ve done, Play Doh. Don’t act innocent.’
And it evidently kept Play-doh’s social media team busy over Christmas.
I dunno if anyone else follows Play-Doh on Facebook but you should cause they’re doing some serious damage control pic.twitter.com/TooleS5PgE — El Clarko (@Fatgoldfish4) December 29, 2014
Though it appears that a thread of comments on the Play-doh Facebook page have now been deleted;

A Hasbro statement reads “We have heard some consumer feedback about the extruder tool in the Play-Doh Cake Mountain play set and are in the process of updating all future Play-Doh products with a different tool.”
However Play-Doh have form with suspect products.
This is their candle maker kit.
It makes great ‘candles’…
