A Peanut's Demise

The recent brouhaha over Mr. Peanut's death reminded me of this booklet I have.  "Mr. Peanut's Guide to Nutrition" from 1973 is a promotion for Mr. Peanut products disguised as a nutrition guide.  Oh, and it was owned by "Jeff".




Mr. Peanut is clearly not happy with this boy's weight. I see a cane beating in his future.






All kidding aside, I think I'd eat any of those recipes (well, maybe not the "Mr. Peanut's Sloppy Joes".  I was never a big peanut butter eater as a kid, but it's one of my "go-tos" for an evening snack these days.


I don't think the "connect the dots" result came as a big shock.

The fact that the answers for this booklet are filled out leads me to believe this was done as part of a classroom exercise. Either that, or Jeff was a really weird kid.



As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, Mr. Peanut seemingly died in an act of self-sacrifice  last month.

And in case you didn't see the Superbowl commercial and are worried about the fate of Mr. Peanut, rest assured, he lives.
