RIP Mr. Peanut
The iconic – and probably only – centenarian legume-based mascot, Mr. Peanut, has tragically died, Planters revealed Wednesday.

RIP Mr. Peanut 1916-2020

Dude had it coming. He's gotten away with this fraud for 104 years.

A peanut isn't even a nut anyway, its a legume.

Dress him up and he's still an imposter.

Roast in peace.

Sorry, it had to be said.

I bet he'll be replaced by a younger, hipper nut wearing pants. Probably too many complaints seeing bare nuts.
