It’s true . . . it happened . . . Mr. Peanut has passed away.
The Estate of Mr. Peanut released a statement via Twitter that the beloved monocle wearing ‘spokesnut’ perished at the tender age of 104 years young after sacrificing himself to save his friends.
It is with heavy hearts that we confirm that Mr. Peanut has died at 104. In the ultimate selfless act, he sacrificed himself to save his friends when they needed him most. Please pay your respects with #RIPeanut pic.twitter.com/VFnEFod4Zp

A funeral for Mr. Peanut will be held during the third quarter of the Super Bowl on February 2.
In a horrific turn of events, Mr. Peanut, along with friends Matt Walsh and Wesley Snipes, have an automobile incident that sends the trio off a cliff and holding onto a branch for dear life. Realizing the branch was about to break from the weight of the three, Mr. Peanut heroically saves his friends by sacrificing himself . . . letting go and plummeting to the ground where the Nutmobile had crashed, setting off a fiery explosion.
Fans and friends are celebrating the life of the beloved Mr. Peanut on Twitter with the hashtag #RIPeanut, along with dedication tweets.
