The 104-year-old talking legume, according to Planters, had “sacrificed himself to save his friends when they needed him most.”

“It’s with heavy hearts that we confirm Mr. Peanut has passed away at 104 years old,” said Planters brand manager Samantha Hess in a press statement, encouraging fans to tune in to the funeral. Always classy, always crunchy, always cleaned up nicely. We'll miss him! #RIPeanut pic.twitter.com/wtNQrFerBF— Chuck E.
