- This might actually taste really good.
- I feel like I just wanna shake it up to mix all of them,
but I don't want it to go...

- (FBE) Today, we're gonna try this. - What is it?
- Wait, it's just Coke and peanuts.
- You caught me and I'm confused.
There's Coke and then there's salted peanuts.
I love both of these things.
- I barely ever eat peanut and then I barely ever drink Coke.
- Coke and nuts. Two of my least favorite things.
- I have had them separately, which I do like Coke.
I know it would probably be gross mixing
salt and sweet together.
- Okay, I'll try, but I don't wanna open it,
'cause it'll go everywhere.
- (FBE) All right, so we're going to go ahead
and put some peanuts inside your Coke.
- Ew. That looks so gross.
- What are we doing? I'm confused.
- This might actually taste really good.
- I'm just gonna take a whole bunch in my hand
and just drop them in.
It's all the way to the top.
- Okay. I honestly don't care
for this at all.
- It's actually pretty good.
- Well, I was wrong. It actually kinda tastes good.
So, when I eat it and drink this,
it tastes a little more peanutty and I'm not a big fan
of peanuts that much, but this together
is really good.
- (screams)
It's too silly. It's a fizzy peanut.
- Nope. More fizzier than the regular soda.
- It's okay. The flavor of the soda,
'cause the nuts really don't have a flavor
because all of the flavor dissolved into the soda.
I would have this again.
- It's actually not that bad. I thought it was gonna taste
really weird. It's actually really sweet,
but also salty and it makes a perfect mix.
- (FBE) You just ate peanuts and Coke.
- It's weird, but good.
- I feel like I just wanna shake it up
to mix all them, but I don't want it
to go... (mimicking explosion)
- (FBE) So, this is a very popular sweet and salty tradition
that originated in the South. Said to have started
in the 1920s, when factory workers didn't wanna
handle their food with dirty hands,
so they just poured their peanuts into their Coke bottles.
They say it's best to try with the glass bottles
so you can see the fizz and apparently
Diet Coke is not encouraged. - So basically people didn't just--
they just didn't wanna touch peanuts.
- It's weird. Why would you eat peanuts
and Coke at the same time?
- I hate these two things and they suck together.
- I don't like peanuts, but it's okay.
I would drink this again.
- I would try this again. It's too silly!
- Try this. And people from the South,
you guys are legends.
- This is awesome. If you have kids at home,
then let them know that they should try this,
but if one of your kids are allergic to peanuts,
then try something else.
