Actually, in Appalichia Kentucky we say POP. However that's not the reason I'm posting. I have a semi serious question. Here it is: Do friends and family look at you funny when you mention peanuts in your bottle of coke or pepsi?

My wife thinks I'm nuts (pun intended), she's a Hoosier and never heard of such a thing. It seems that if you're from above the Mason-Dixon you've never heard, seen or done peanuts in your pop.

Just wondering what the southern freepers had to say on this matter. Ciao, Tim

Behave yourselves around our sweet little gray-haired grandmothers or they'll kick some manners into your ass just like they did ours

LMAO I love it.
