It is with heavy hearts that we must report that Mr. Peanut has passed away. Don’t worry, the death of the pants-less, top hat-wearing, anthropomorphic peanut was for a good cause—a Super Bowl 2020 ad.

The aged peanut was killed off after 104 years of loyal service to the Planters corporation in an ad that was released in advance of the football game.
