The latest food trend that is gaining popularity is the combination of Coca-Cola and peanuts. According to food trend websites like Delish and Esquire, this combination is a delicacy in the southern United States and is worth trying. To make this drink, fill a cup with Coca-Cola and pour in half a bag of salted peanuts. Let the peanuts marinate in the Coke for a bit and you will have a sweet and savory drink with a snack at the end.

The National Peanut Federation’s website states that this practice originated in the 1920s, when workers with dirty hands would put peanuts in their Coke rather than handling them directly. This combination became a tradition in the south but is not widely known. While the combination of Coca-Cola and peanuts may be tasty, the same cannot be said for Diet Coke, which reportedly tastes unpleasant when combined with peanuts. This is likely due to the fact that Diet Coke contains artificial sweeteners, which do not pair well with the salty peanuts.

Many people have shared their experiences with this food trend on social media, with some even getting creative with their presentation. Some have used nice-looking glasses to serve the drink, while others have included their pets in the fun by offering them a taste. It seems that this southern treat is truly irresistible.

News reporters from 11Alive have even covered this food craze, expressing their disbelief at the combination of Coca-Cola and peanuts. “I’ve lived in the south my whole life, this was not a thing,” one of the reporters stated. Despite their initial skepticism, the reporters tried the drink and found that it tasted like a regular Coke.

While the idea of putting peanuts in your Coca-Cola may seem strange to some, it is a tradition that has been enjoyed in the south for decades. If you’re feeling adventurous and want to try something new, give this combination a chance. Who knows, you may just find that you love the sweet and savory flavor combination. Just be sure to avoid using Diet Coke, as it does not seem to pair well with the peanuts. If you’ve heard of this crazy food trend, be sure to share this article with your friends and family. Who knows, you may just introduce them to their new favorite treat.
