Shell Stop

Billboards come and go by legends never die.  That seems to be the motto of the Planter's facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  They wave the flag loud and proud in the form of a 30 foot Mr. Peanut on their lawn who points in the direction of where the nuts are.

Mr. Peanut has been one of the top advertising icons for a long time and the folks at the Fort Smith plant are happy to see him around.  So much so, that the visage of the legendary legume decorates the premises' perimeter with these smaller statues along the fence:

There are two realities in the world:  you can never have enough Mr. Peanut and you can never have enough photo ops.  Planters seems to understand this quite well and have provided a nice opportunity for a sit down with the Big Guy:

So on your next road trip to Arkansas, you've got a great opportunity for a pit stop to sit and tell your story, "Forrest Gump-style," to one of the top Promotional Mascots in the business.  Just be careful if you have a peanut allergy, because even Mr. P's bench is shaped like a peanut.
