This is one of my favorite memories of growing up in my dad's store in rural North Carolina. You drink a little of the Coke to make some room and then simply pour an individual bag of salted peanuts into the Coke. It may bubble up as the salt mixes with the Coke so be ready to consume the bubbles and it will settle down. Then enjoy as you take some Coke into your mouth along with a few peanuts at a time enjoying the new flavor that has developed. The best part is that 50 years later I can still have this treat anytime I want to. Try it, I bet you'll like it too. It is really hard to believe but one more post and it will be number "500" for me.

Now there will be a run on peanuts. Everybody that reads this blog will have to try it. LOL
ReplyDeleteHey, good buddy! I love a mix of sweet and salty but I must admit I never tried this particular combo before, nor have I ever seen anybody else indulging in it. It must be a Carolina tradition. I hope you had a great weekend, Odie!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this drink/treat before but I've never tried it. I will have to give it a shot now. You make is sound so appetizing!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 500th post! I've enjoyed getting to know you and your family. :)
I'll try this for sure. I love Coke and peanuts are healthy. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteI bet my kids are going to love this! Thanks for sharing it Odie! And that's really neat that your dad had a store:)
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this but never tried it. Now I must!
ReplyDeleteWaiting for your big 500!!
You and I come from the same folks. I bet you eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches too..? I don't drop the peanuts in my diet coke but I do pop them in my mouth then take a big gulp of my diet coke. MMMM. Thanks for your comments. You always put a smile on my face..
