Planters, the iconic nut brand is looking for adventurous college graduates for a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity, driving Mr. Peanut across the country in the iconic NUTmobile.
Post-college road trips are almost a rite of passage for millions of graduates and now there’s a chance for an iconic trip to get even nuttier when you apply to drive the NUTmobile, a 26-foot-long peanut on wheels from coast to coast.
This is not just a chance at experiencing the open road — just you the fresh air, the humming of the engine of the NUTmobile — it’s a chance to have the coolest job that puts your college degree to good use.

Elephants are colorblind!
They can see the hues blue and yellow, but they are unable to distinguish between red and green.
Regards,
I saw a Wienermobile (there are six) at Picture Rocks, AZ last year. Went home and got my wife, but it was gone when we returned.
One of my roommates drove the Weinermobile when he work for Oscar-Meyer. He said it wasn’t the great experience that you would think, especially in windy conditions.
Knew Phil for decades. I worked at MBARI and set up the machine shop that housed Phil in the old wood building. We had day old bread (toast) and peanut butter with coffee early. We had a saltwater tank for MBA’s use to hold samples.
Phil used to sneak in and get water instead of buying sea salt for his bug tanks.
Somebody crashed one on a snowy road a few years back.
Thank you. That is interesting. It seems that they can see red, they just don’t like it and they can’t tell the difference between red and green.
According to the internet, if one can believe what’s on the net:
“Explaining the dislike of elephants for these two colours white and red, Mishra said a study conducted all over India has shown that elephants have spotted and targeted person wearing red or white shirt or trousers or both in the mob more than person wearing other colour shirts/ trousers.”
That's about as definitive an observation as stating that "drivers wearing brown or black shoes or gold wristwatches - or both! - are (statistically) more likely to be involved in multi-vehicle car accidents than people wearing other-colored shoes or other-colored wristwatches."
I am esp. suspicious of that "in the mob" part: When an elephant attacks a mob, how are you going to find out which individual the elephant had singled out?
Regards,
Believe me, I sympathize. I’m compassionut. I wouldn’t want you to go out and get a-salted
LOL
