And in this unique radio format, Mr. Peanut's good qualities can be broadcast all over the place! He's seen here as a yellow and black plastic cut-out shape, with the dials for volume and station on either side of his dancing feet. Since his introduction in 1916, to help advertise the sales of the country's first roasted peanut company, Mr. Peanut has become the world's best-known advertising character. Based on the original drawing of a 14-year-old boy, the ever-dapper Mr. Peanut eventually added a top hat, white spats, ebony cane, and monacle to his unique ensemble. He may never make the cover of GQ, but no one will ever be able to crack his top spot at Planters/Lifesavers Co.
