On the Adweek Podcast: The Convenient Demise of Mr. Peanut Ahead of the Super Bowl
Plus, the other brands confirmed for the Big Game on this episode of Yeah, That's Probably an Ad
The heroic death of Mr. Peanut caused a bit of an earthquake. His selfless plunge to save his friends (Wesley Snipes and Matt Walsh) reverberated on social media last week. Some of us were shocked. Others laughed.
Planters will reportedly air Mr. Peanut’s funeral during the Super Bowl, though podcast co-host David Griner goes further to predictsa resurrection of the iconic mascot. Also on this week’s episode, breaking news reporter Katie Lundstrom joins us from Texas to talk about the Little Caesars and Doritos teasers. Plus, we delight in Winona Ryder visiting her namesake town for Squarespace.
And the CEO of Talkwalker is on to discuss the buzziest online discussions leading up to the Big Game, and what to expect on social media during the Super Bowl.
