Here’s a side hustle that you’ll go absolutely “nuts” for. The world-famous snack giant Planters is looking for a new team of drivers to chauffer Mr. Peanut around with this one-of-a-kind job offer. And yes, applications are open right now!
What To Expect As A “Peanutter”
According to a news release on PR Newswire, Planters is searching for three qualified and capable “Peanutters” to drive across the country in their giant 26-foot-long peanut on wheels known as the NUTmobile. But they won’t be driving alone, as the iconic Mr. Peanut will be riding shotgun alongside them, monocle and all.
The job starts in June of this year and runs through June of 2025. During this time you and Mr. Peanut will stop at a number of events and celebrations to deliver all kinds of nutty goodness to all who want it. Planters’ director of marketing Patrick Horbas went into further detail in a statement from the release.
