Sat Jan 21 14:00:21 -0800 2006 0 mark grossman 1 1680150 You are right. I knew they didn't taste as good. They also need more salt. Sat Jan 21 14:46:39 -0800 2006 1680147 0 Janet 2 1680156 I kinda like the freaky superdryroastedness of them . . . but the faint sweetness of the corn syrup, I could do without that. (I read the label for the first time about a week ago) Sat Jan 21 15:32:23 -0800 2006 1680150 0 pitu 1 1680152 Pepsi or RC Cola. Outside of the south you probably think I'm nuts but try it. Seems like Planters used to taste better but were they cocktail or Spanish peanuts? Would love to hear if other hounds put peanuts in their sodas. Sat Jan 21 15:01:22 -0800 2006 1680147 0 Paul in S.C. 2 1680186 Yes. Absolutely. Live in Detroit area now but came from Ks/Mo area. Those little plastic packages of Planters are just right for a bottle of Coke or RC. Perfect combo of fizz, salt and cola! Won't work with diet. Bob Sat Jan 21 23:05:35 -0800 2006 1680152 0 Sony Bob 3 1680201 Glad someone out there knew about peanuts in sodas. I've used those little bags of p-nuts in cokes all my life and sometimes get laughed at even in the south where it's likely more common. I'll post a note on my favorite peanut - the boiled peanut Sun Jan 22 08:15:53 -0800 2006 1680186 0 Paul in S.C. 3 1680213 Me too. Grew up in northern Florida. We all poured those peanuts into our coke bottles. When I went to college in Virginia, I found a lot of people there did it too. I've ofen thought my grandson would have fun with the experience, but he's not allowed to have soda!

Sun Jan 22 18:52:29 -0800 2006 1680213 0 1 wiener hound 2 1680233 Well of course we did but we did not call them sodas we called them soft drinks Sun Jan 22 18:49:32 -0800 2006 1680152 0 1 wiener hound 3 1680246 >> we called them soft drinks Heck, in Lynchburg, Virginia, where I was raised, we didn't even call them soft drinks, but just "drinks". I don't recall seeing Planters as much as another brand called Robinson Crusoe. They came in a clear wrapper with the man himself portrayed in red. We'd pour them into RC Colas...

Never heard of that. Do you eat the peanuts after finishing the drink, during, or not at all? Wed Jan 25 20:50:06 -0800 2006 1680152 0 cbrising 3 1680454 Eat 'em. At the end. It gives the drink a unique taste also. Try it! Not too many though... Thu Jan 26 00:36:28 -0800 2006 1680442 0 Jimmy Buffet
