Well, here are the results...READY
Say goodbye to the old fashioned iron
Following a month-long nationwide vote from fans, Hasbro took to the
Today show to announce that it will retire the iron from the game’s
iconic pieces, replacing it with a cat.
Some fans were worried about the fate of beloved tokens like
the pooch or the race car, neither was ever in danger of being
eliminated. (The Scottie dog, in fact, was the most popular token, with
29 percent of the vote to save it.) Hasbro says the boot, iron and
wheelbarrow were always in the red zone with players.
In fact, all three tokens were virtually tied for last place until
late Tuesday night, when iron haters pushed the appliance over the edge.
In
the end, just 8 percent of voters wanted to save the iron.
Fans were presented with five replacement token options,
including a helicopter, a diamond ring, a robot, a guitar, and a cat.
But this is was an Internet vote and voters can't seem to get enough of our feline friends.
