If you can't find Tom's peanuts, try some Planter's salted nuts.

As I told Kerry, Planter's salted can be substituted.<br /><br />heartinhand<br />We call it pop, soda, coke (for any carbonated drink) sodie pop, You should eat some nuts, at least and ounce per day for good women's health.<br /><br />Susan Adcox<br />I just knew you were a country girl!<br /><br />Brighid<br />Let's not talk about slimy okra anymore, okay?<br /><br />Riot Kitty<br />Don't try it with Diet Coke.

This is the best part about blogging; I learn so much!<br />I lived in the South for some time, and worked diligently at liking boiled peanuts, but moved away before acquiring the taste (they're so chewy and weird). So I'm hoping the peanuts retain their crunchiness while immersed in the coke.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-25615127683397356202014-02-17T11:14:28.719-06:002014-02-17T11:14:28.719-06:00I have a cousin who constantly drank coke with pea...I have a cousin who constantly drank coke with peanuts.

I haven't had that in a long time because you have to have the glass bottle. When my 4 kids were young teenagers I splurged and got Cokes in bottles so they could try it.

If it was the fad thing to do, I could force myself to like it. Just like smoking. I almost killed myself learning to inhale but I was determined. Then it almost did kill me in 2003. I was a terrible follower.<br /><br />Olga<br />I was right with you until you got to serving it will dill pickles. Yikes!<br /><br />Tabor<br />Yes it was a fad in the day.
