8. What does Mr. Peanut NOT wear?

Answer: Ascot necktie

Schoolboy Antonio Gentile won a contest by creating the peanut-man and the Planter's admen added the other things (and cane) he wears to this day. But a tie would look dumb on a peanut, wouldn't it?

9. What are the names of the Pep Boys?

Answer: Manny, Moe and Jack

He got his name from the Latin "nunc est bibendum" ("now let us drink") on his early posters. The Michelin brothers were inspired by a stack of tires looking like a man's torso in creating him.

Answer: chick

At first a cat was used for the "Hasn't Scratched Yet" campaign, then Bon Ami switched to the chick.
