My wife does this sometimes. She'll drop peanuts into a bottle of coca-cola. I don't get it and had never heard of it before meeting her.

Haha! Hillbillies crack me up! You know you're backwoods when you dump random crap in your Coke to see if it's any good. I love how they'll fry anything too (see also: fried twinkies, candy bars etc).

Actually deep-fried Mars bars and deep fried pizza is a Scottish thing. So I guess hilbillies are more Euro-cultured than you.

Do you eat the peanuts too? It doesn't seem like peanuts in a coke would give off much taste.

You're in Texas which is not really the true South.

Yes I've done it.

check your shens meter. it is clearly busted :p

I'm from NC, and I don't do it. It seems though like some relatives once mentioned to me a penchant for doing this (SC; which explains it)

Ignorant Yankees crack me up with their narrow minded, stereotyping comments. I think it's safe to say that every region of the country (and world for that matter) has certain quirks that others may find unorthodox. Apparently, being a dumbass is one of yours.

The salt on the peanuts would just make the pop go flat faster, wouldn't it?

Yeah, that's right, I said pop.

I remember it from when I was young but haven't seen anyone do it in years probably not since the glass bottle was the default container. I tried it a couple of times but preferred them separate.

PS: People need to read the Poll questions it says "If yes are you from the south" So if you didn't answer yes to the first part don't respond to the second.
