“Peanut Vendor” Tweets Outrageous Predictions For The New Year, Here Are 16 You Need To See
Most people make resolutions for the New Year (bowl without the bumpers, eat less Chipotle, you know the type). Then, there’s @PeanutsHere, a slightly salty “Peanut Vendor” who’s been Tweeting a series of predictions, puns, and punny predictions for the year of 2016—all of which involve peanuts.
The Vendor, a fun persona created by the National Peanut Board, “discovered the Twitter” back in November and began to release 366 consecutive Tweets on January 4 as his version of a 2016 Social Almanac.

Praying to the chicken gods that this one actually comes true. For free chicken, I’ll do the hula, the Cupid shuffle, and the Nae Nae too.

Until February 24, don’t share any peanuts with your tusky friends. We’re betting those elephants were a little too crazy about peanuts…
