This was the “classic” version back in 1973.

I prefer RC Cola to Coca-Cola.  It seems more syrupy which I like.

Hard to fit a snickers through a bottle neck though.  Maybe in @caliking 's coffee cup though.

That one has OT in the title, so it's within the rules.  

Yes John, stop ruining the forum. On topic, this was actually a menu item at our family general store and grille in the 70s

I tried it today. Not terrible, not great either. Don’t quite get how this came to be a thing. 

Cmon man,  it's got to be in the bottle

See @caliking , we were not being jerks, even a real professional peanut& coke seller says this is wrong.

*Bonus points for whoever spots the pun.

@frazzdaddy welcome back to the forum.  Other than some specific topics, the dynamics are as you may recall although the Buffalo did swing a pretty sweeping "ban hammer" several weeks ago.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Is this really a thing?  I have never seen or heard of this:

Hunker: Why Do People Put Peanuts in Coke?.

Yes, it is great, but you’ve never lived until you have had peanuts in Fanta Orange.

Back in the late 1980's, I was in college and worked in a factory over the summers to earn a little spending cash for college.

The old-timers there would buy a pack of Planters salted peanuts and a bottle of Pepsi from the vending machines at break.  They would eat most of the peanuts from the pack, but would drop a few into the Pepsi bottle to "make it fizz".  

I never joined them in their ritual, but now I am wishing I had.

I did it.  First Coke since October.  It is pretty dog-gone tasty. I bet on a hot day working outside it is even better.

@Ozzie_Isaac - Way to follow up and enjoy the experience.  Thanks again for the initial post as I have enjoyed chasing the Mexican coke and relived youth.

Add a little bourbon to it, and it is even more “tasty” with the peanuts!

You have not lived without dropping peanuts in Ale 8-1. AKA Winchester sewer water.

I concede, that this at least looks way better than peanuts in a paper cup of Diet Coke.

Dude.  That cup looks like one of your patient’s stool samples.
