Peanuts n’ Coke
Every carbonated drink in Texas was a coke…except Orange Nehi… or root beer.
I remember from when I was a kid… it has to be a bottle for sure… no excuses. 1959ish, Snyder, Texas… a six oz bottle was a dime. That broke down to 6 cents for the cola and 4 cents deposit on the bottle. We young entrepreneurs would scavenge the countryside for bottles to take to the store to sell.
Modern folks seem to be split on the pure, anadulterated kiddish pleasure of the delicacy. It is not to be analyzed… it is to be enjoyed.

It was a taste sensation and real treat when I was young. Today’s version doesn’t taste the same. Anyone know why?

It is psychological methinks… it needs that Green bottle. No red.
Remember Sno- Cone stands for a nickle?
