I'm going to try it if I can find a glass bottle of Coke anywhere.

Salted peanuts?
Doesn't that tend to defizz the pop?
Sounds like Heimlich maneuver time anyhow.

I thought it was peanuts in Pepsi, and it was a southern thing.
-
The combination is with Pepsi, not Coke.
I never did it, but my grandfather did.

Oops, Mike beat me by mere seconds. Yeah, more of a southern thing...
I could get into the history of it, but I think Garden and Gun magazine did the same a few months ago.

Same here, but mainly Coke and DP. I always thought it was a Coke thing since Coke is from Georgia, which grows lots of peanuts.
Pepsi started in NC. Is NC known for peanuts?

Growing up it was Coke and it was mostly folk who were teenagers in the 1950s. So 40-50 year olds when I was adolescent/teenager.

This type of rabble rousing keeps up and pretty soon people will be pairing Moon Pies with RC cola. ;) :old:

Never done it, but if you're looking for Coke in glass in CA, Costco or Mexican holes in the wall. You'll get glass plus Coke with real sugar. The story said this started in the 1920's, when soda used sugar, so that might make a flavor difference.

It always makes a flavor difference.
(And if you're ever in the Dublin TX area, try a Dublin Bottling Works Black Cherry Soda for a pretty darn good approximation of what real Dr Pepper used to be.)

Or hipster food stores. Real cane sugar is preferred over HFCS in all of the finer hipster establishments.

As a bonus, when you buy a 6-pack in a hipster store you get a bonus clip on man bun.

Mike, I want to know how you know that.

I worked in Washington, DC, for nearly 6 years, right outside of GWU.
Hipster central, with lots of little hipster boutique stores.

I thought that was JamisJockey's corner. Did he run you out of business?

Okay, I thought you were going to say that you bought a 6 pack in a hipster store and got your favorite clip on man bun as well. :P
-
Nah, I'd pop in for a bag of chips and it would look like a tribble convention.
-

Different businesses.
-
I've acquired the needed inputs. As soon as the Coke is cold I'll give it a try.
-
Once you have mastered the art of goobers and Coke then you will be ready for the next big step; Pepsi and M&Ms, drink a little Pepsi and pour a bag of plain M&Ms into the bottle. That was an Okie thing.

Apparently so is diabeetus.

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

Exactly, they are all referred to as Coke in some parts. =D
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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.

No.
Southern Sweet Tea is a bowl of sugar with a tea bag waved over it.

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

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.

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

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.

The tobacco worker explanation makes a lot of sense.
Still somewhat disgusting.

I have her cook book.
She's from the same region of NC as my family and currently lives/works in the same small town as my aunt and uncle. My parents live 30min away.
