"Nobody knows who exactly came up with this inspired idea of putting peanuts in Coke, but the pairing is guessed to go as far back as the 1920s. I've heard stories of busy Southern farmers who didn't have time to break for lunch and would eat this on their tractors while in the field. References to salted peanuts in Coke pop up in historical fiction including The Secret Life of Bees, and other stories about the American south during the 50s and 60s."

I think I'd like eating peanuts WITH coke on the side (I do it all the time in bars and beer), but together? Mixed? Soggy nuts? Hrm. (Do they get soggy?)
