Planters Naturally Remarkable Ad Campaign 'Tree-athalon'

Advertising legend Mr. Peanut is back in this entertaining claymation TV commercial for the American snack food giant. The iconic symbol of Mr. Peanut was first created in 1916 as part of a publicity contest to come up with the brands logo and the winning entry was a rudimentary design created by a grade school boy. The company polished up the character and his various re-carnations has represented the company ever since.
