Does anyone remember the "Hot Potato" game?

Have you seen it sold anywhere?

LOL, I remember when it wasn't even a boxed game...you put a (real) potato in the oven for a few minutes, then you tossed it around and used an egg timer....Oy...I am sooo old...

Is that...one potato, two potato, three potato, four? Or is it what we called "Spud"?

I do. I had it. It was a plastic potato with a face on it.

I believe I got it when I was in kindergarten, which was 1970. I bet you might find one on ebay.

Yes I have that game in my k room right now. The potato winds up and you pass it around and when it stops instead of being out right away you get a card with an "H" on the card. You stay in the game until you have spelled out HOT and then you are out.
Our potato stopped working so I use a CD instead now and if you don't have a potato you can use a ball.

Huh. I didn't even know it was a game. I just thought it was a Wiggles song!

Never heard of this. It's obviously after my time of playing.

Yes, it was a wind up red plastic potato! I'm glad someone else remembered it, it does go way, way back!
