First toy advertised on TV

What was the first toy advertised on television? Was it … A.) Barbie, B.) Hula-Hoop, C.) Mr. Potato Head or D.) Slinky?

🥔 The answer: C.) Mr. Potato Head. The ads ran during “The Howdy Doody Show” in 1952. Today, Mr. Potato Head has a smartphone in case Mr. Onion rings. (Oof, I know. I had to.)
