Yep, A Coke And Peanuts Was A Thing

  • Saturday, July 26, 2025

Yep, what's called a Farmer's Coke" was a thing.  Coca Cola and peanuts. 

It's much better in a bottled Coke....plus an entertaining puzzle trying to get a swig of Coke with a few peanuts at the same time. 

My Granddad was the parts manager at Benny Jackson Ford and after school, I would pop in to visit.  They had the vending machines for Lance peanuts and small bottled Cokes.  

The good ol' days.
