PROVIDENCE — When online voters nixed the clothes iron token from Hasbro’s Monopoly game, the appliance was held up as passe, as something your grandmother once used to ease the wrinkles out of linens and handkerchiefs.
‘‘Despite being an integral part of life when the token was added to the game in the 1930s, the iron has fallen out of favor with today’s fans,’’ the Rhode Island-based company said in announcing its replacement — with a cat.

Where's the love for the mighty iron. Those wrinkle free clothes aren't exactly high quality. No self-respecting sartorialist would be caught dead in them.
Nooooo! I love the iron in monopoly! My favorite token ever
I like the top hat myself. :-)

You'd think they'd just add the cat and then switch the iron out for a lint roller . . .
