Un like Walt, I was born much later and was young enough to not remember, but Mom tells me that I sat on General Eisenhower's lap on a troop train during WW-II. He left office as Commander and Chief the year I joined the Marines.

I figured if you like sweet tea, it would be an RC cola and a moonpie. Don't know if they still make RC cola.

Yes they do, or they are really old. Saw some in a store just the other day, but don't ask me where. I guess I was stoned. By the way I am a native Texan I had dr pepper in my baby bottle when I was a kid.
We use to put peanuts in our RC colas. Man they were good.
Never liked wet peanuts till I moved to Georgia and got hooked on boiled peanuts

Don't like peanuts in my drink. Love me some boiled peanuts.
You can occasionally find them in the country around here but nothing like in Georgia, they were everywhere. I guess I have to make my own. They do have peanuts here

Back in the Olden Days of Weedie and Himself, it was standard practice to get a 10c cellophane bag of salted peanuts to dump on the RC bottle.
So you drank and munched. We considered either of those things by themselves to be incomplete...
Bunch of commies. Never had peanuts in your colas. Ya see,,at least Walt aint no Commie.

We drank a 10 cent RC instead of Coke or Pepsi, and dumped in a 5 cent bag of salted peanuts. That was back when men were men and their women worshiped the ground they walked on.
I was still just a kid of course...............

Interesting
As for the theories, there are a few on how it began in the 1920s. The first is that it became a snack for blue-collar workers with dirty hands who often didn't have a clean place to rest their peanuts. So into their Coca-Cola, they went for hands-free snacking.
The next theory is that people took to pouring peanuts in Coca-Cola to keep one hand free to smoke. The final theory is that people just preferred it that way. So that's the way it was, and always will be.

I mentioned sweet tea cause you tried to order it when we at lunch in Denver. I hadn't heard it called "sweet" tea since I was a kid.
