The South is its own entity in the United States, through and through. Whether you’re talking about fried okra or your momma’s famous bundt cake, there are few things more satisfying than a delicious Southern tradition. The fond memories associated with many a Southern family often stem from experiences shared over comfort food. Peanuts in Coca-Cola is one of those traditions.

A staple of most road trips through the West Texas desert, along the coastal bayou of the Gulf of the Mexico, ...

So how did this sweet and salty goodness become a huge part of Southern culture?


I have been in Texas since 1968. Florida before then. I have never heard of this.

I have to go to the grocery store anyways, so, sometimes you have to say "what the frack" ? If it tastes good, I might experiment with peanut butter and Coke, in the blender. Maybe make a sandwich, or, a smoothie. ... added alcohol is a possibility.

Hmm ... why hasn't Coca-Cola made a peanut flavored concoction ? They are headquartered in the South, in Georgia.

My grandfather who lived in Pensacola, but was originally from Alabama used to do this.

How about peanut butter beer? This just might be my favorite beer, but it is only available here.

Is this what "peanuts in a bottle" means in this song? I wondered what that was about.
But, would he be referring to peanuts in Dr Pepper then... "the fizz in a pepper"?
But then down south many places every pop/soda is a coke....

Since he said "10, 2 and 4", he is definitely talking about Dr Pepper.

Barbra Mandrell sang about putting peanuts in her coke (when no one was looking):

Louisiana is about as far south as you can grow up and I've never heard of this.


Do people consider Florida part of the south?

It wasn't just a southern thing, I dated several young ladies that put peanuts in the cokes way back when. That was in Kansas.
Wasn't something I cared for but, I figured that if they would do that they might be open to other adventures.

I grew up here in the Atlanta area and thought it was a natural way to have a Coke. Of course, Coke is the major soft drink here, being the home of the beverage.

We'd collect soft drink bottles from trash piles or along the country roadside and take them to the store in our bicycle baskets. Redeam them for 3 cents each and for the profit of 4 bottles, we could buy a Coke and a bag of peanuts for a nickle each. The simple way to ride back home was to pour the peanuts into the Coke so we could use the other hand on the handlebars. I've heard that same reasoning for drivers to continue down the road with a drink and a good protein snack, long before cup holders became a required accessory in a vehicle. And it's so much easier than tipping the bag for peanuts then holding them while you grab a mouth full of Coke.

We had Coke, Pepsi, RC Cola, and Dr. Pepper, along with a wide selection of Bireley's non-carbonated fruit flavored drinks. The kids would usually go for the Pepsi or RC because they were a few ounces more, but no one EVER put their peanuts into a Bireley's drink.

You do need to be prepared to take a good sip as soon as you pour the peanuts into the bottle. The salt tends to make the drink foam a bit.

Living in Pensacola back in the 50's and early 60's, it was RC and Nehi.
