Pluggers by Rick McKee for September 17, 2019

I’m not too sure… now hot herbal tea with frozen juice concentrate, THAT’S a mixed drink (won’t matter if that concoction is served hot, warm, or refrigerated).

Disgusting! I tried that when it was a fad when I was a kid, like 40 years ago, and never liked it, plus it usually makes the cola to burst.

I was introduced to the practice in boot camp, where, it seems, the southern boys would do that. They also liked to pour sugar onto two slices of bread as a sandwich.

That’s me, except for me it’s Cherry Coke & peanuts. The perfect pick-me-up for 2-3 pm sleppys

Did anybody try that with Beer ? Don’t drink soda pop.

I’ve never seen it in a can only in a bottle.

Never peanuts in coke but I did do peanuts in beer. The salt brought extra flavor in the beer, likely due to the carbonation foaming.

First I heard of it was in the song. “I was Country Before Country was Cool” or something like that. One line was about putting peanuts in my Coke.

First time I saw this was when I was just staring out in Post Office. A carrier had a 6 ounce bottled Coke and poured a package of Tom’s peanuts in the bottle. I went eww!

I have never tried peanuts in my cola, but now never will because I no longer drink colas. In any case, it does not sound good to me.

Eww!

Lynchburg, TN. Shouldn’t she be pouring Jack into that coke?

Ye gods…must be a southern thing. Sure doesn’t happen here in the Rust Belt.

Peanuts and Dr Pepper- ymm!

Never heard of while growing up in New York state. But we did see recurring ads for “Dr. Pepper Hot with Lemon” (Heat the soda, pour it in a mug over a thin slice of lemon – see: https://tinyurl.com/yxo2vsmq).

We tried it – tasty enough, just not worth trying again.

Cans don’t work as well. It’s got to be a bottle. Preferably a long-necked glass bottle.

RC Cola, short for Royal Crown Cola, and peanuts with a Moon Pie.

Mr. Brookins, it works better with a bottle than a can.

In my day, we put the peanuts in a cola BOTTLE. Kind of hard to get them out of a can.
