About Mr. Peanut
Mr. Peanut was created in 1916 by schoolboy Antonio Gentile, who won a contest to design a mascot for Planters.

His design has remained largely unchanged for over a century, making him one of advertising’s most enduring mascots.
Throughout his long career, Mr. Peanut has appeared in countless advertisements, becoming a symbol of quality and refinement in snack food marketing.
