A thirteen year old girl convinced Hasbro to design a gender neutral Easy Bake Oven. The teen's four year old brother wanted the toy for Christmas but was discouraged because the pink and purple design was clearly geared for girls. The thirteen year old started a petition on Change.org., asking Hasbro to offer a more gender-neutral color for the toy and to include boys in the commercials. The petition got more than 40,000 signatures. Hasbro has announced that the color change "has been in development over the past 18 months" and will become available next fall, 2013.
