Mr. Peanut is dead

I heard he fizzled out.
Someone at Planters had him bumped off because they suffered from Mr. Peanut envy.

I can remember going to town when I was a kid and Mr. Peanut standing on the sidewalk and giving spoonfuls of peanuts to the shoppers.

They finally realized he was a nut job!
I can remember that, he had a push cart and the peanuts were warm and he sold all the Mr Peanut toys, there used to be all kinds of vendors back in the day, it was a real treat to go to the big city, we used to take the bus. [emoji1]

I am going to make a prediction: They only think that Mr. Peanut is dead.
He is going to be safe, just like Indiana Jones in "The Last Crusade". Everyone thinks that he went over the cliff in the tank, but he jumped off just in time.
Mr. Peanut snagged another branch, he will climb on up, and everyone will be happy. This whole thing is just a Super Bowl stunt.

As a kid I remember for Christmas one year getting a Mr. Peanut, peanut butter maker. It was a replica of Mr. Peanut about 12 inches tall, you poured peanuts in thru his top hat, turned a crank and somewhere down below,(I think it was his belly), peanut butter came out. Thought it was neat at first, until I went to clean it. Even then I remember thinking, "what a PITA". Novelty didn't last very long. I wasn't the brightest bulb in the box but I did quickly figured out it was a whole lot easier to just twist the lid off a jar of peanut butter.
Wow! More replies than a 9mm vs. .45 debate post!

I wonder if anyone still calls peanuts "goobers." I know they called them that in the Old South...and IDK but maybe some still do.

I saw the commercial on the news this morning. Mr. Peanut sacrificed himself in order to save his two buddies. As he fell into the canyon the peanut mobile exploded below him. The tragedy of it is who will replace him, probably someone with a few peanuts missing!!
Sadly, this looks like a rough week for icons. Now we have lost the Pillsbury Doughboy 
"It is with the saddest heart that I must pass on the following news:
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the belly.
He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies and Captain Crunch.
The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times, he still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children John Dough and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven.
He is also survived by his elderly father Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes."

I can vouch for that...
I saw a picture of him doing highway construction in Georgia with Elvis. Jim Morrison was the supervisor.
