Green Giant, Mr. Peanut To Grow Moustaches For Movember

By Heather Taylor

I mustache you a question… Did you know some of advertising’s biggest icons are signing up to be part of Movember?

Yep, they are! The Movember Foundation announced on October 25th that they are partnering with characters like the Green Giant and Mr. Peanut for Movember.

A leading charity changing the face of men’s health, Movember encourages men to “grow a mo” or moustache throughout the month of November. Growing out a moustache can inspire real change through donations and conversations to stop men from dying too young.

Mr. Peanut and the Green Giant are two great examples of characters that can, and already have, started the conversation to grow a mo. Mr. Monopoly has also committed to be part of the movement, too. Follow along with the hashtag #MoMascots to see how they style their ‘staches.

The Green Giant is slated to debut a 15-foot-long ‘stache on his statue in Blue Earth, Minnesota and in his logo beginning November 1st.

We’re excited to see if more mascots commit to the cause! Maybe Cap’n Crunch will sign up or Mr. Clean will get involved. All eyes are on whether or not Burger King’s The King will participate again this year or not. He famously shaved his ‘stache in 2017 for Movember, and we’d love to see him do it again for a second year running.
