McKenna Pope's Change.org petition earned more than 40,000 signatures and the support of celebrity chefs who backed her request to change the Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven's girl-centric pink and purple packaging to include boys, too. She also asked Hasbro offer the product in different "non-gender-specific" colors that appeal to boys and girls.Hasbro said the black and silver design has been in development for 18 months and pointed out that the oven has been offered in a variety of colors since 1963, including teal, green, yellow, silver, blue and purple.

The 13-year-old launched the petition after on behalf of her 4-year-old brother, who wanted an Easy-Bake oven for Christmas. She could find them only in pink and purple, which she felt would discourage him and other boys from using them.

I know a LOT of grown men who love cooking - quite a few are big, burly cops and bikers- so honestly I love this idea. Your average guy should be just as comfortable baking a cake as he is grilling a burger.

Although the difference isn't as great now as it used to be, there are still more male than female professional chefs.

(arms outstretched between you two) Allright, allright! As long as it is not boiled to death. Can we agree on that? If not, it is mustard bottles at ten paces. May the best dog win!
