Mr. Peanut
Mr. Peanut, born Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe, has been the dapper face of the Planters snack food company since 1916. He always dresses to the nines, at least on his head, hands, and feet.
Utz Girl
The Utz Girl is the face of a snacking empire stretching from Hanover, Pennsylvania to Baltimore, Maryland. You might consider accessorizing with the crab chips, but go with the original potato chips for the classic look. And most important of all, remember that Utz are better than nuts.
Cracker Jack Boy
Originally called “Candied Popcorn and Peanuts”, Cracker Jack was sold at the first Chicago’s World Fair. Not only is it well known for coming with a prize, but it will be forever linked with baseball as sung in “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”.
Emily the Strange
Emily the Strange has a style that has inspired a new generation of little goth girls. She’s a mysterious character but her look is easy to achieve. It’s getting a colony of black cats to follow you around that might be the problem. Luckily you can purchase a few stuffed ones to complete your costume.
Snap, Crackle, and Pop
Snap, Crackle and Pop are the elvish mascots of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal. What most people don’t know is that there was a briefly lived fourth mascot named Pow, who represented the nutritional value of the cereal. Snap is presumably a chef, while Pop is probably a marching band leader. We’re not quite sure what Crackle does for a living though.
Lucky the Leprechaun
Lucky the Leprechaun is always being chased by kids who are after his lucky charms but who can blame them? Can you resist this magically delicious cereal?
The ShamWow! Guy
Vince Offer, better known as the ShamWow! Guy, pitches As-Seen-On-TV products through his mesmerizing informercials. With a blue apron, he transforms into the Slap Chop Guy — you’re gonna love his nuts!
Billy Mays
Most people know Billy Mays as the spokesperson for the cleaning products OxiClean, Kaboom and OrangeGlo but he also promoted miscellaneous items like The Ding King, What Odor?, and Zorbeez. We all miss seeing his amped up pitches on T.V. and hearing his famous catch phrase “Hi, Billy Mays here for the…”.
Apple Store Genius
Feeling stupid about your smartphone? Then take it to a Genius. These Apple Store workers are renowned for their helpfulness as well as their disdain for Microsoft Store Gurus.
King Vitaman
King Vitaman might be royalty, but he’s not nearly as popular as the Count or Cap’n. No one’s had breakfast with the king in many years, yet he somehow manages to stay on the shelves.
