Nobody knows who exactly came up with this inspired idea of putting peanuts in Coke, but the pairing is guessed to go as far back as the 1920s. I've heard stories of busy Southern farmers who didn't have time to break for lunch and would eat this on their tractors while in the field.

One of my former coworkers did that, I guess it's a southern thing.  And yeah, it sounds gross.

Sounds like it was made up by someone on an international flight before in-flight movies were available.

So you get 'em in there (no small feat I imagine) and then probably drink the salty Coke up and then you have to try to shake the wet Cokey peanuts out of the bottle to eat?  Why not just have the peanuts with the Coke?  Pop a couple peanuts, take a swig of Coke.  Repeat.  People are such pointless dicks.  "Hey let me make this much harder and messier than it has to be!"

Pretty much this.  I heard out out and tried it, but bread's way is much better.

Yeah.  Sounds like a drink for people who are into scat play (nod to Pete).

The nod was for the scat play reference.  Pete brought it up when talking about the flood aggie football coach a while back.  I like to give dues and such where appropriate.

I do something similar but instead I get the peanuts in the shell and then I break the shell open throw away the peanut and fill the shell with coke and slurp the coke out of the empty shell.

When I lived in western ks for 2 years everyone loved red beer.  Once I was on the golf course with my boss and some other guys and they wanted me to try red beer because they said it was so good so I did and I pretended to like it so that I would fit in but I was throwing up mentally because it was so super gross.

I did it a few times after some Southerners showed me.  It's not gross.  It tastes like a mouthful of peanuts and Coke, which is good.  I haven't done it since, though.

Do the peanuts float around or do they sink to the bottom?
Title: Re: Anybody ever pour peanuts in your Coke?
Post by: kitten_mittons on November 27, 2012, 03:30:51 PM
Whenever I go to visit my grandad in western ks, I always* take him to the bar and we get some red beers. I think they are gross, but he's 94 and says some really awesome/crazy crap after he puts a couple down.

*The 1 bar in town is between owners every other time visit, so it's not always open.

They float and don't get soggy or anything.  It's exactly as though you just threw a few dry ones in your mouth and then immediately took a drink.

Not quite.  All the salt comes of the peanuts when you put them in the Cola.  Leaves bland peanuts and salty Cola.  Better to just Munch peanuts and sip Cola.


One of my fave road snacks is peanuts and Cola. One tube hot n spicy, one tube honey roasted.

If you can taste the source of the salt when they're both in your mouth at the same time, you have a more sophisticated mouth than I do.

I like hot peanuts on road trips, too.  And Slim Jims!  Hoo boy!

Has anyone ever tried it with cherry coke?  I've been told that it's basically the same but with a slight cherry flavor. Sounds interesting.

When I was in HS I worked a summer at the grain elevator.  They had one of those quarter peanut machine where you get a handful and a pop machine in the office.  Farmers would come in and put the handful of peanuts in their coke.  I got hooked on it that summer but liked it better with Pepsi.

CALL ME A HAYSEED!!!  I'm proud of it and don't rough ridin' care.

OK, OK, I get it. That said, I know a lot of people who've poured their nuts into different things (including, I'm sad to say, an animal...not me, by the way), but I've never known anyone (including myself) that's poured their nuts into a Coke.
