Trivia: What is NOT an accessory worn by Planters’ Mr. Peanut?
Monocle
Top hat
Cane
Cufflinks
The correct answer is Cufflinks
So why is this answer correct? : Arguably the world’s most famous legume, Mr. Peanut was “born” in 1916, when a young boy named Antonio Gentile submitted a sketch that won Planters’ brand mascot contest. His signature cane, top hat, and monocle were added later by a commercial artist. In 1937, Mr. Peanut made it to the big leagues, appearing on his first Times Square billboard, and by the 1950s, he was on TV in commercials. Mr. Peanut’s sophisticated look has remained relatively consistent for the past 100 years.
