When I read your posting I almost had to run out and get a coke and some Planters peanuts. By the way, I have given up drinking "leaded" Coke for the last few years and drink nothing but Diet. Got to keep my figure, you know? I can't tell you how excited I was when I tried Coke Zero for the first time, as it is zero calories, but tastes pretty close to the real thing. One of the first things I did was stop and get a bag of peanuts to test how they tasted in Coke Zero. Not bad! Peanuts in Diet Coke just doesn't get it.
Thanks for the memory.
