Never tried them in Coke, but did in RC Cola. As much as I like sweet and salty nowadays, I didn't care for it back then. It might be time to try it again!Salted peanuts in RC Cola...
The peanuts would float and you eat while you drink. The salt would bring out the fizz. The peanuts were typically gone when the Coke was goneOk, question. Was it the peanuts that made the coke better or the coke that made the peanuts better? When the coke was gone did you just tip the bottle and eat the peanuts? This is absolutely foreign to me so very curious.

Remember peanuts and coke with grand daddy.
Who remembers a Goody powder washed down with a Coke. For a mid afternoon pick me up?
You're right. It's not as good as it was at least not in the states. I went to Costa Rico a few years back and got a cold one in the small glass bottle. Was better than one you can get here. Being it was there who knows could still be using the recipe from the 40'sThanks for all the replies folks. I knew some of you would remember. Funny how the northern part of the country knows nothing about it, but midwest, south and west does. I’m not sure I can bring myself to drink a coke, it’s been 10 years or since I last had one, and I sure remember missing the coke of my youth, before they started screwing with the recipe, first “new coke” which was garbage, then “classic coke” which was better, but still not a coke.
The ones you can get in Mexico taste like the older Cokes. They still use sugar to make theirs instead of high fructose corn syrup. I shipped four cases back last time work sent me down there.You're right. It's not as good as it was at least not in the states.

Wow Cliff your just starting to hit puberty young fella.I was born in 67 and I have never heard of that, certainly not a Northeast thing.
All variations of coke were garbage to me. I was a Pepsi drinker. Another member from the North East.Thanks for all the replies folks. I knew some of you would remember.

South of the border they still use cane sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. I agree that it is much better.You're right. It's not as good as it was at least not in the states.

Adam , You have lived a sheltered life !! lolI am old and don't remember that.
Growing up, all sodas around here were called Coke. Dad always called them a "cold dope". "Dope" goes way back to the creation of Coca-Cola when it was made with cocaine or cocoa leaves. Dad liked a cold dope and a pack of shacks. Who remembers a pack of shacks?I remember putting peanuts in our pop
