I wonder how their sales figures have been affected by this whole thing. I can't imagine people adjust their peanut consumption based on campaigns but I keep learning that people are dumb and gullible so maybe?

Sometimes it's not about people being dumb but just keeping the product alive in the back of the mind so you rember to grab it at the grocers.

That said Jesus their entire advertising board should be fired. Mr.peanut was like coca cola level of old fashioned classical advertising replacing him with a baby Yoda knockoff is some straight poochy ahit

It was a weird thing straight people attributed to gay dudes in the 80's and 90's. For some reason it really stuck with him, along with rumors of him being gay. But other celebs got tarred with it.

godddd the job i quit a few months ago, the boss STILL thought "gay dudes put rodents in their assholes" was both (1) true and (2) loving hilarious at all times, in 2020. it was his favorite joke to make to me and the other gay employee, who quit shortly before i did because he got fed up faster. it was his favorite thing to say if one of the customers seemed gay to him. it was his favorite loving poo poo. godddddd i had successfully not thought about that man for weeks since i quit and now all i can think about is how much i hope he suffers

Everytime there's a blitz about that peanut I expect this will be the time they announce a new fuckin' product. Or an old one! Hey I'm 21 or whatever, PB Crisps are back! But it never happens.

Imagine, if you will, a bit size snack with a light crispy peanut flavored outside with a sort of sweet smooth peanut butter inside. Simultaneously sweet and savory, smooth and crunchy. It was as if Dionysus himself designed a crunchy peanut butter snack.

Snacks have changed. It's no longer enough to have salt and a satisfying crunch, it's now an endless series of dietary battles fought by nutritionists and social media influencers. Snacks, the consumption of food, has become a complicated machine.

I don’t know if British Petroleum → BP counts, but I’m listing it because LOL @ Obama being called a racist for using its old name after the Deepwater Horizon spill.

If I’m including it, I may as well include two others who now go by their initials, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Weight Watchers.

Andersen Consulting -> Accenture (fun fact, not related to the scandal. The change was a few years before)

Also heard this and the rib thing about Manson. I think the other favored urban legend was the kid in every school who had an uncle that worked at Nintendo.

I also heard the Marilyn Manson rib thing in school and my much-older cousin told me it was a lie and she knew it because she'd heard them say the same thing about Prince and also David Bowie

Remove your floating ribs not to do a sex move on yourself but because you do not approve of ribs that do not connect to other bones on one end.
