However, I was looking at Mr. Peanut, the logo on the Planters Peanut can, and I became somewhat concerned about the statement he is making. If you ran into someone on the street who wore a tophat, monocle, gloves, shoes, and nothing else, I think we would call the police.
A quick assessment would suggest he must have bad vision in only one eye, obviously has some problem walking which calls for a cane, is a blatant exibitionist, and is delusional enought to be happy about it all.
I think I will just enjoy the peanuts and put the can away. Just Say’n.
This could be turned into a series of modern day commentaries about commercial brand icons from the 50s and 60s; Charlie the Tuna, Chicken of the Sea Mermaid, The Jolly Green Giant, The Campbell's Soup Kids etc. #justsayin
