Peanuts in Coke is Trendy Again

The exciting part for most people is the newness, or the nostalgia if it's something they used to do...

If you live in the South…or you’re a real old-schooler…you’re probably familiar with this classic snack hack: dumping peanuts in your bottle of Coca-Cola.

Some people still like to do it on road-trips, but there was a time when it was known as “Farmer’s Coke” because people would combine them when out working in the fields and back then, it was often RC Cola.

“Peanuts in Cola” is having a moment on social media again, with younger people trying it and it’s even going viral globally, like in Japan. If you haven’t had it, there’s nothing earth-shattering: the coke still tastes like coke, the peanuts still taste like peanuts.

The exciting part for most people is the newness, or the nostalgia if it’s something they used to do when they were younger.
