Coke's trying to re-write history, but 60-70 years ago, the only thing more common than RC with peanuts in it was RC and moonpies.
Although, I'll admit, I never understood it. It just makes a salty soda. But when I was growing up it wasn't uncommon to go into a gas station and see somebody buying an RC and peanuts and dumping them together before they were out the door.
My wife told me about this the other day and it seemed new to me. I guess I never thought about this post you made months earlier. Probably because I was discussing boiled peanuts and she was talking regularly I guess. Or, could be an early sign of Alzheimer’s.
