Peanuts in Coke? Anybody do this?

[just Warren]

I've acquired the needed inputs. As soon as the Coke is cold I'll give it a try.

And it's.....meh.

Neither I or my daughters thought it was in any way special.

It's better sitting under a shade tree in a cooling breeze after a hard days work in the hayfields.

Mabel, get out the wheat fields, you're going against the grain.

[MechAg94]

I've seen peanuts in Pepsi, Coke, and Dr. Pepper.

Exactly, they are all referred to as Coke in some parts.   

[Perd Hapley]

There's actually a very good reason why some people use Dr. Pepper or Pepsi, instead of Coca-Cola. The reason is that the first two have something called flavor.

Really?

We just drank beer after we were done haying.

[K Frame]

Dr. Pepper has flavor?

Yeah, I guess a mix of soap, battery acid, rat turds, and liberal tears has... "flavor."

I'd rather drink a Yuengling than a Dr. Pepper, and I *expletive deleted*ing HATE Yuengling.

Grandma would have thrown an absolute fit. She wasn't one to tolerate alcohol. The woman was absolutey furious when she found out vanilla extract had alcohol. That and I was under 18 when I did most of my haying.

[K Frame]

I was under 18, too. That didn't stop us.

We did too.

Person: Want a drink?
Me: Yeah, get me a coke.
Person: What kind?
Me: 7-up.

We had relatives like that too.  At a pig pickin' years ago, when the teetotalers started arriving, we switched to beer in a cup and referred to it as "tea".  My cousin's husband, hearing the talk about "tea", assumed we were talking about actual tea.  When he found out the "code", he said "I thought you guys just really liked tea". :D

Teetotaler here. I'm not going to complain if you have beer. But, by my pretty floral bonnet, if you tell me there is tea, there had better be some tea!

[mtnbkr]

There was tea also.  Good southern sweet tea.

Yep, put up hay all afternoon, real easy to kill 9-12 beers and half a chicken for supper. This was the old 3.2% beer so hardly got a buzz just full.

Being underage didn't stop me from drinking when I was "in town" on my own but hauling hay with dad, grandpa and a couple of uncles darn sure did though.

So, flat Coke, in other words.

[K Frame]

No.

Southern Sweet Tea is a bowl of sugar with a tea bag waved over it.

[wmenorr67]

Quickly waved over it.

[MechAg94]

No.

They add a little water too.  It isn't dry.   

[RoadKingLarry]

I make a 1:1 sugar/water syrup to feed my bees. If I dunked a Luzianne tea bag in it then it would be almost as sweet as southern sweet tea.

[Perd Hapley]

I make a 1:1 sugar/water syrup to feed my bees. If I dunked a Luzianne tea bag in it then it would be almost as sweat as southern sweat tea.

Please do not put sweat in your tea. That is just wrong. The only sweat should on the outside of the glass.

DAMN YOU AUTOCORRECT! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

[K Frame]

No, autocorrect had it right the way it was.

There is a sports drink available in Japan called "Pocari Sweat".  We always thought it an odd name for obvious reasons.  I could never bring myself to buy any, though others said it was pretty good.

Vivian Howard an excellent show on PBS about southern culture and food.  This is her expanded take on the Pepsi/Peanut combination
