PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A New Jersey girl who started a
campaign calling for an Easy-Bake Oven in gender-neutral colors is
planning to meet with the people who design it.
Thirteen-year-old
McKenna Pope and her family will meet with the Easy-Bake team Monday
afternoon at the Pawtucket, R.I., headquarters of toy maker Hasbro.
Hasbro says it invited the Garfield, N.J., 8th grader to listen to her thoughts and
ideas.
McKenna
was prompted to start an online petition after she wanted to buy an
Easy-Bake Oven for her 4-year-old brother and found them only in purple
and pink. Several top chefs, including Bobby Flay, have since asked
Hasbro to make them in more colors.
