According to food trend websites like Delish and Esquire, putting peanuts in your Coca-Cola is a delicacy in the south and if you haven’t tried it yet, you need to. The reason will blow your mind.
Just fill a cup with your Coca-Cola and pour half a bag of salted peanuts into the cup. Then let the peanuts marinate in the Coke for a bit and you’ve got yourself a sweet, savory drink with a nice little snack at the end of your drink. If you’re ready to be adventurous and send your taste buds to paradise, you might want to try this.

The National Peanut Federation’s site alleges that the practice of adding peanuts to Coke originated in the 1920s.
This happened because workers with dirty hands didn’t want to handle their peanuts, so they would just dump it in their Coke. After this, the sweet and salty sensation became a tradition in the south, but definitely isn’t talked about enough. No one really knows who came up with the idea, but they’re everyone’s hero.
