Planters is Hiring Their Next Class of Peanutters for the Nutmobile
Sure, Oscar Mayer recently announced that they are hiring people to drive their fleet of Wienermobiles, but why drive a giant hot dog when you could really live the dream and drive the NUTmobile? That's right, Planters Peanuts has announced that they are now hiring their next class of Peanutters. This week, Planters revealed that they are starting their search for three Peanutters who will be responsible for chauffeuring Mr. Peanut cost-to-coast in the iconic NUTmobile, the 26-foot-long peanut on wheels as they "shellebrate" the communities they visit along the way.
"Since bringing the Planters brand into the Hormel Foods family in 2021, we've been looking forward to carrying on the tradition of hiring Peanutters to represent the Planters brand across the country," said Yemi Gilland, associate brand manager for the Planters brand. "This is our second class of Peanutters, and we are excited to keep the NUTmobile rolling along throughout the United States as we visit our fans in their hometowns."
