Mr. Peanut, the dapper Planters icon, is dead at 104

Grew up 20 miles south of San Francisco. Planters had a "factory" just north of where they built Candlestick Park. Along the roof where it met the building's walls, they placed numerous statues of Mr Peanut, probably a couple of feet tall. The Bayshore Freeway ran close by.
When driving north to the city, my brothers and sister and I would each try to be the first to call out that we could see the Mr. Peanuts.
Easily amused. Nowadays we would probably only see our tablet screens.

I seriously doubt that Mr. Peanut will rest in peace.

Maybe its time for Mr. Cashew?
