ROAST IN PEACE (RIP)! MR. PEANUT IS KILLED AT THE AGE OF 104! WILL HE HAVE AN ORDINARY FORM CELEBRATION OF LIFE OR AN EXTRAORDINARY FORM REQUIEM MASS AT THE SUPER BOWL?

They killed him off!!! My sister sent me this photo of a sterling silver Mr. Peanut spoon or peanut butter spreader that the three of us, my brother, sister and me, sent a proof of purchase of Planters Peanuts and $3! This was in Atlanta, late 1950’s. My sister has custody of this collector’s item! I remember the day it came in the mail.

Bee here:

OH noooooo!

Thank you for spreading the news! It's so jarring, though.

Maybe it's butter this way. If he had survived, he may have been a vegetable for the rest of his life.

Well, eternal roast be unto him. He was a good nut.

God bless.

While so many were buttered, he was canned.

Nuts!
