Sounds like it could be a great meal replacement

My grandpa called it Goober coke. Although he did it with an RC Cola.

It's a great snack in the heat when the bottle Coke is ice cold and just drop a few peanuts in your 8oz glass coke per sip.

Protein, reasonably healthy fat, a good dose of simple sugars, sodium, potassium, and a mild jolt of caffeine. Pretty decent for someone working outside. I never heard ot called a farmer's coke like the OP suggested but it would work well for that line of work through the middle of the day.

My parents both loved peanuts in Coke. Small glass bottle coke, little bag of salted peanuts. Both born early 40s in Louisiana. He lived in BR, she is from the sticks.
They got me to try it when I was little. It was ok.
Never heard it called a farmer’s coke, but it was definitely a thing.

Common in MS up through the 80s, back when cokes in a glass bottle were common.

Yes some people do it. My ex wife was one who did. I never tasted it, so no idea what it even tastes like. She seemed to like it

Barbara Mandrell “I was country when country wasn’t cool” the 58 second mark. That’s when I discovered this was a thing. Barbara sang about doing it.

I was putting peanuts in coke when putting peanuts in coke wasn't cool.
Damn it Sofa King.

Bruh. If you ain't poured a pack of salted peanuts into a bottle of Coke then shame on you.
Next best thing is pouring a pack of plain M&Ms into a good cold bottle of Coors Light.
Forgot one.
Half a mug of cold beer and top it off with a good bloody mary mix...........poor mans bloody mary.

What part of Yankee-infestation you from, boy!

Very common in the South. All the old timers did it. Apparently not so common with the mongrels in south La though. Which makes sense since they're oblivious to reality, and aren't really southern/human.

Not sure why this got moved to the food board. It’s a culture question. But alas…
And I’m in my 40s and from Nola. Never heard of it until tonight

I’m 65, raised in SC by my grand dad. I picked it up from him as a young boy. Quit doing it probably in the 80’s, it just tasted better in a glass bottle.
I also occasionally put salt and pepper on watermelon and cantaloupe in his memory.
RIP, Pop.

I'm going on 74 and that was a thing back when I was in grade school. Take a $.06 coke in a bottle and pour a $.05 pack of salted peanuts in it after a couple swigs to make room.

I've seen it done and done it myself. I don't drink many soft drinks these days, but it was once common and pretty good. I would not put the whole (small) bag of salted peanuts in the coke, maybe half a bag.
I liked it, but I liked the Coke + Lance Toastchee snack better.
