Question...
I'm also currently re-reading Brett Butler's "Knee Deep in Paradise" and she mentions something I need to ask about.
I already know some Southerners are obsessed with peanuts. I can even accept the fact that they boil 'em. But, what does this mean? I'll quote Brett, who is speaking, in general terms, of Southerners and sex..."I know Southerners who don't care much for sex, per say, but if you watch them at a stock-car race or when a chamber orchestra plays on a Sunday afternoon, you can see ecstacy on their faces. Fiery grips of lust jump up in odd places, and those who have watched people lick their fingers after eating ribs or suck the peanuts out of a Coke bottle know bliss lives in the South..." Do what? Peanuts in Coke bottles? What da hell is she talkin' about? I mean, I like dipping my pretzels into a glass of cola, but do y'all put peanuts into bottles of Coke? What's that do? Is it good? Why come ya do dat? Enlighten me, please. I love learnin', especially about Southern stuff....

My dad did that. You just drop a few shelled peanuts into your co-cola. Don't know why, he just did.

ya'll have to live here to understand it. As for why,, why not, makes the peanuts taste great. Boiled peanuts, almost better than sex.

Use roasted, salted peanuts with your coke. I enjoy my boiled peanuts but, if you exclude my soon to be ex, I'd rather have the sex. Thank you!

The p-nuts give your coke a little salty twang plus gives ya something to crunch on when you take a swallow. Boiled ones are really good when they are still hot right out of the kettle. Brett says we dont care for sex. Come on down here and drop them panties.We'll show you.

Peanuts in coke is a southern tradition. High school football games here sell peanuts in bags or shelled peanuts in case you want to put them in your coke... hell its even in the lyrics to Barbara Mandrell's "I was country before country was cool."... "I remember when no one was lookin'
I was puttin' peanuts in my Coke"
I was puttin' peanuts in my Coke"
