It's a trap. Just a way to update their logo and get people to talking about planters again. I full expect some hip new version to come out...probably one I won't understand or care about. Does anyone buy anything other than great value or store brand peanuts anyhow? Not like I toss a handful of peanuts in my mouth and say " man...these are good but they're not planters".

I can imagine a scenario where you put some nuts in your mouth and you can tell a difference

I'm guessing that's not the first time you've imagined that.

Why Planters killed off Mr. Peanut

This week, snack brand Planters released a dramatic video showing the apparent death of its fictional mascot, Mr. Peanut. By the end of the day Wednesday, Mr. Peanut's death had taken over social media.

What a goober.

Warning - graphic images

Not as good as the free advertising that iHOP and Popeyes got last year but still a decent showing.

I am looking forward to force ghost Mr.Peanut in some type of Disney product placement deal for the next season of The Mandalorian.

Baby Force Ghost Mr. Peanut...
I think we are really on to something here.

Killing off your iconic, century-old mascot to mimic some invented virtual grief... pure genius.

They'll be using this as a cautionary tale in B schools for the next fifty years.
