Which advertising icon is usually depicted carrying a cane?
Cap’n Crunch
Mr. Peanut
Colonel Sanders
Michelin Man
Mr. Peanut is the advertising logo and mascot of Planters. He is dressed in the formal clothing of an old-fashioned gentleman: a top hat, monocle, white gloves, and a cane. Mr. Peanut was born in 1916 when schoolboy Antonio Gentile submitted his sketch to win the Planters contest for a brand icon. A commercial artist later added a top hat, a monocle and a cane to create the iconic image. While Gentile’s family originally received $5 for winning the contest, the founder of Planters paid Antonio’s, and four of his siblings’, way through college.
Correct Answer: Mr. Peanut
