Life is good in Georgia when...
... one has a Coke (GA product) and peanuts (GA grown)

mdx77 · 25 February 2008, 08:30 AM

I don't get it...................

mdx77 · 25 February 2008, 08:31 AM

Are you a Ga "Opa".....is so Wie Geht's?!

Prince · 25 February 2008, 08:45 AM

Ahhhh, a southern treat that goes back many a year!!!

My wife is originally from Georgia (Moultrie), and my grandfather owned a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Montecello, Florida and one here in St. Augustine as well. Can't tell you how many times I had that treat!!!

virtualtg · 25 February 2008, 08:56 AM

Being from the South.........remember it well. I actually prefer the peanuts in Mountain Dew.

Never tried that, but will now that you mentioned it! Get a better caffeine hit as well...

gaopa · 25 February 2008, 11:22 AM

hee...heee.....yep, nothing like a cold Coke with peanuts... I grew up on this treat!

Kurt, yes, I'm Georgia Opa. My grandchildren call me Opa so I use this as my nickname.

Ummmm... JT, I have never tried peanuts in Mountain Dew, but just might give it a try.

Allan, love the photo of the old Coke icebox...what a treasure! You have strong Coke roots and via your wife, GA roots as well!

bgriz · 25 February 2008, 11:38 AM

Never heard of peanuts in Coke, I'm from the north.....I do have a 1960's coke machine that dispenses the bottles, not plugged in currently....which are still sold (or at least were) at some stores.

mdx77 · 25 February 2008, 11:40 AM

My wife just said her body is "all lopsided".......

hotwheels396 · 25 February 2008, 12:45 PM

Bill, I know where your coming from, learned it from my dad, and have enjoyed my years of coke and peanuts, Cheers from Ga.

nsolga · 25 February 2008, 12:51 PM

Makes me want some BBQ and corn bread!

jasonbellevue · 25 February 2008, 12:53 PM

What a refreshing treat! I love Coke and peanuts, and that bottle...the best.

krism06 · 25 February 2008, 01:17 PM

I lived in Sugar Hill for 6 years and my wife is from East Point. Man, that looks really good. I bet it would freak these New Yorkers.

I thought it was a joke at first..............

krism06 · 25 February 2008, 01:21 PM

Not a joke Kurt. Try it, and I'll bet you'll like it. It is a unique southern treat. Kind of like RC and a moon pie.

Dan Pierce · 25 February 2008, 09:29 PM

Never tried peanuts IN Coke, might have to try. I do have 1950 Vendo Coke machine.

Holds about 2 1/2 cases of beer and keeps them very cold!

I even supply the dimes.

gaopa · 25 February 2008, 10:07 PM

OK group... for me the secret is the small bottle of Coke that is very cold. Take a nice drink out of the bottle to give a bit more space. Then put in salty peanuts up to the top. Trust me, it tastes great! Enjoy! Bill P.

My grandparents used to keep the small 6-oz. bottles in the "icebox", near freezing and they do not warm up quickly like aluminum cans or plastic bottles & cups. IMO Coke tastes better when it is in glass, too!

Try it out guys! It may look wierd, but it tastes fabulous!!!

Yes, those were the days, guys. Glass bottles and a Coke chilly bin.....very nostalgic!!

redshirt1957 · 26 February 2008, 03:22 AM

Slim Jims and Pork Rinds with an ice cold coke. We use to guess where the bottles were originally manufactured and the winner got to cash in the bottles for desposit; three cents for each bottle. As a kid I could not understand why I could always find three bottles; which were worth nine cents and candy cost a dime. Memories of the '50s.

gaopa · 26 February 2008, 05:47 AM

Jamie, JJ and others of you are right... nothing like an ice cold coke in the small bottle. If you visit my home, we serve the real thing, Coca Cola in an iced cold bottle! ;~)

About the peanuts... here in Georgia we take our peanuts seriously. The very best ones, we think, come from The Univ. of GA Ag. School. They have a big fun raiser each year selling peanuts donated to them by south Georgia farmers. I buy their peanuts in big 4 lb. cans and eat on them until the next year. They have red skins, roasted skinless and honey roasted. We buy all three varieties. YUMMY!!!

BTW, here we say, American by birth.... Georgian by the Grace of God! ;~)
Cheers y'all! Bill P.

gaopa · 26 February 2008, 08:26 AM

Bubba or Joe.... yep, the 50's when a dollar was worth a dollar! Slim Jims and Pork Rinds always go well with an ice cold Coke! ;~)

BTW, that was supposed to say "fund" raiser in my last post...

I remember these being around when I was a kid, Allan. I was a little brat. I figured out pretty quickly that if I went to the machine with a bottle opener, I could lift the lid, crack the top off, stuff a straw in and drink the pop before anyone caught me.

I don't drink Coke. It's bad for your health. Can I try this with beer?

gaopa · 26 February 2008, 12:11 PM

Ummmm....Nancy, with a beer I think I would have the beer in my right hand and a handful of peanuts in my left hand. Then between drinks of beer I would toss a few peanuts into my mouth. Does that work for you?

BTW, pretty cat!
