Peanuts and Dr. Pepper

I just got back from my local convenience store and saw something strange.

A guy bought a Dr. Pepper and a bag of peanuts. That seemed normal until the guy opened the peanuts and poured the whole bag into his Dr Pepper. Very unusual.

Am I missing out on a new tasty drink, or was this guy crazy?

Has anyone ever tried this?

 

woah

 

I'd say this guy's just weird. Although I've drank water with jelly beans in it before, so I don't have any room to talk

 

He's probably attempting to commit suicide by choking himself to death.

 

that was awsome!

 

/\ lol

It was wierd, the peanuts stayed at the top and acted like some kind of "peanut filter" for the Dr Pepper. IT was diet to, I dont know if that would make a difference.

 

OH! You didnt say it was diet! Thats a whole nother story!

 

How did you know they stayed at the top?

*guy pours peanuts in*

Excuse me sir, can I see exactly what is goin on inside your soda can?

Why certainly. Here.

*hands can over*

AHA! I see.... It's acting like a peanut filter...

 

It was a plastic bottle. He did it at the counter before he walked out of the store.

 

ok. ha! still awsome.

 

It seems like a variant on an old southern tradition of putting peanuts in Coke.

As for why THAT'S done, I still couldn't tell you.

 

It would have made sense if he had also bought a blender and Cap'n Crunch, but since he didn't, I got nothing.

 

Maybe you are on to something Darrkwolff. This happened in Texas.

 

yup, he's crazy.

ah, and a Texan, it's all making sense now

 

Do you have something against Texans, myst?

 

Nah, just trying to get a reaction out of a certain Texan.

 

I told you, just cuz something is different than what you're used to doesn't make it bad.

 

I think I will have to try this concoction.

You never know we could all be missing out on one of the greatest drinks ever.

 

a blender and Cap'n Crunch

 

Nope, can't say that I have. It sounds different though.

 

What the heck is the blender and Cap'n Crunch for?

....maybe I shouldn't ask that....

 

I found out people used to do this back in the 50's, but they usually used Coke. I guess you learn something new everyday, no matter how stupid it is.
