About Nutter Butter
Nutter Butter is a peanut-shaped sandwich cookie filled with peanut butter cream, launched by Nabisco in 1969. Its social media account became briefly notorious in 2024 for posts so surreal that people assumed the brand had been hacked. Mondelēz owns it, and the account was in fact a deliberate marketing decision rather than a compromise.
Trademark record for Nutter Butter
The USPTO record for the Nutter Butter mark lists INTERCONTINENTAL GREAT BRANDS LLC as the owner of record (serial number 72348975). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[2]
