Super Bowl 2020 had viewers anticipating one big outcome - and it wasn't which team would win. After Planters aired a new Super Bowl commercial featuring the death of its iconic mascot, Mr. Peanut, the world has been waiting to see how the company would bring Mr. Peanut back. Now we have that answer, it is "Baby Nut." Hot on the heels of Baby Yoda, Baby Nut arrives to rake in marketing impressions (and possible peanut sales) on the power of cuteness. However, Planters' marketing team may not have thought through this particular mascot's design enough...

As you will see below, the name "Baby Nut" is inspiring some reactions that suggest some deeply NSFW ideas and innuendo - and it's a situation that's only likely to get worse, as Baby Nut's fame spreads...

Know Not What You've Done

Whoever thought of the phrase #BabyNut should reconsider accepting their marketing degree. I feel dirty reading it. But dirtier writing it. pic.twitter.com/LfzPMdKMnu

These marketing people working with Planters have no idea the levels of depravity they've unleashed. But the Internet will show them.
