I put a packet of peanuts in a bottle of coke sometimes. It's best with a glass bottle but a regular will work in a pinch.

Don't knock it til you've tried it.

What excuse do you have for not doing this?

This isn't exactly a regional drink so much as a region style of enjoying that drink.

I grew up in Georgia(the American state), so I drank a lot of Coca Cola as a kid. To this day Pepsi just strikes me as second-best, but I digress. Anyway, a few times when I was young my brothers and I would buy some Coke in glass bottles as well as little packages of roasted and salted peanuts. Then we'd pop open our Cokes and add little handfuls of peanuts to the soda before drinking it like pic related. You slurp up a couple of nuts per sip and crunch on them. The flavor combination is actually really good, adding a little salt and savory to that sweetness. Really refreshing.

I told my friends who aren't from the South about it recently and they all thought I was a weirdo.
