Peanuts in Pop Culture

With the average American enjoying 7.7 pounds of peanuts a year, our country sure has a thing for peanuts. But we don’t just eat them quietly and call it a day. Nope.

From Peanut Butter Baby to Peanut Butter Jelly Time, these legendary legumes are the stuff of art, movies, songs, sports, celebrity love, beauty, accessories and more. In this episode, we’ll scratch the surface of peanuts omnipresence in pop culture through interviews with jewelry maker Mini Hay Avant and sports dietitian nutritionist Leslie Bonci.
