Continue adding peanuts until you've added about half the bag (approximately 1 ounce), or to your liking.
Let the mixture settle for a few seconds to enjoy the contrast of the salty peanuts against the sweet, fizzy Coke.
Sip the Coke and enjoy occasional bites of the softened peanuts from the drink as you go. Repeat until finished.
