I'll admit to having done this....you ?

[bobcat]

X-husband used to do that with RC Cola too. Don't know why it had to be RC, but it did. I never tried it myself. Seems like a good way to ruin a perfectly good soft drink and peanuts.

Well, regular coke has more of an intense and sweet flavor with a bit of a bite. RC was a bit smoother and just seemed to pair with peanuts better. When you took a sip and got a peanut or two, it had a nice slightly salty finish. Ha ha, I sound like a bit of a cola snob. Anyway, it's just one of those things you have to try and maybe you like it, maybe you don't.

So, do you chew the peanuts or just wash then down whole?

 

[Jules]

No. Never heard of doing this.

Neither have I. Now that I have, I still won’t be trying it.

I do remember the tales of putting aspirin in your coke and it would make you drunk. I didn’t try that one either.

Oh God no! Swallowing them whole would miss the point and may even be disastrous. By chewing them up at the end, you get to enjoy the nutty finish. It's probably an acquired taste, but I haven't tried it in years, so maybe it was just something trendy. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.

 

[That Lady in PA]

Never heard of that.
Southern thing??

 

[bobcat]

Not really. My parents owned a Drive In, and teens were always there coming up with something new (You know how teens are). We were in N. Cal, but who knows where it originated. Tik Tok wasn't around then, so it was probably someone who visited the city, or an asylum, or wherever.

 

[Bella]

Yes, many times, but only with RC Cola.

No, I've never had peanuts in Coke, but growing up, RC was always my cola of choice.

 

[jujube]

Yep, they need to be Spanish peanuts....the kind with the loose skin. And if you can get hold of a can of Vienna Sausages, you have a regular feast.

The fabled "10-cent lunch" of the Depression was an RC Cola and a Moon Pie.

 

[seadoug]

I'm from the South but I've never heard of this. I have put smushed cornbread in milk and ate it with a spoon. It's delicious!

 

[Imogene]

No, but I did use Coca-Cola and a Brillo pad to clean the rust off bicycle spokes

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I've never done it and never heard of anyone else doing it. I won't be trying it now because the last couple of times I had Coke it tasted strange, almost like a pesticide was in it. The last one was free too (canned) and I wound up throwing half of it away.

 

[Jazzy1]

Never done this but it seems like a convenient, no-mess way to eat and drink at the same time.

 

[BJintheUK]

Never heard of it before. What's the point exactly? If it's something like the old aspirin in a Coke, does it work with Pepsi as well?

As it is I don't particularly like fizzy drinks, especially not Coke or Pepsi, so wouldn't bother myself. My drink of choice is an orange juice and lemonade in one glass. That way I get a slightly fizzy orange juice that's not quite as thick and sickly as orange juice on its own, and not as fizzy as lemonade on its own.

 

[TeePee]

I'm from the Midwest and had Coke with peanuts many times growing up. Loved it! My taste buds have changed since then so it doesn't sound as appealing plus I don't think it would be as good in those plastic bottles they use nowadays.

 

[jim_slim]

I’ve done it many times in my younger days.

 

[MountainRa]

I too had peanuts in a bottle of Coke as a child. Liked it then but not likely to try it now.

 

[HazyDavey]

Never did that. I only ever put rum in my Coke, especially Capt. Morgan’s spice rum.

Same here, had a friend who always mixed them together, I never did. But I did go through a rum n' coke phase back in the day.
And like other folks here RC was my go to soda.

 

[IrishEyes]

My peanuts went into my mouth before they got to the bottle.

Coat. Morgan rum with Coke isn’t my first choice of an alcohol drink, but if offered one, I would never turn it down. I am not a beer drinker, instead, I like Crown Royal over ice or CC with seven up in a tall glass, ice and with a lime. I’m getting thirsty.

 

[oldman]

I don’t think swallowing peanuts whole is a good idea since our digestive tracts have issues with digesting them.

 

[SueBee]

Never heard of it either and wouldn’t bother trying. I’m not keen to choke on a peanut while tipping a soda upside down.
