The True Southern Filker Litmus Test pt 1: Peanuts IN Coke

[binaryalchemist]

Larry Kirby and I were joking about Being Southern Filkers...and exactly what constitutes proof that our Northern Born Friends have converted to our culture. LITMUS TEST # 1: Will they do COKE N' PEANUTS???

No lie--this is DAMN GOOD. Take a bottle of Coke--glass if you can get it--or a grape soda (Nehi if you can find it). Drink a big swallow. Open a packet of ordinary Tom's Peanuts. Make a funnel with your hand and pour some in. Drink Coke and get peanuts in your mouth, Chew and swallow and repeat. If you can do this without vomiting, YOU ARE SOUTHERN.

Found this on YouTube---obviously, this is a YANKEE girl....let's watch...

I must be the only Southerner who just doesn't get the fascination with peanuts in Coke. I had never seen or even heard of it until a couple of years ago. I saw my boss drinking peanuts in Pepsi and had no idea what it was. I thought there was something wrong with his Pepsi! :D I might try it one of these days but, yeah, I don't get it. :)

I think she liked it, she's just trying to appear like she didn't to keep up some sort of cover. for what, I don't know, but she acted like she liked it at first.

I must be pure yank because I find Coke ALONE gross XD I can't even imagine what it would taste like with peanuts.

LOLOL!!!!! Oh, my mom used to do that... God, just your mentioning that makes me feel about ten years old :D

I was never a big fan personally, but yeah, it's pretty common in some places.
