What happens if Sprite washes down peanuts?

If Sprite is used to wash down peanuts, the carbonation in the soda may help to break down the peanuts and make them easier to swallow. However, the combination of the sweet and tangy flavor of Sprite with the salty taste of peanuts may not be appealing to everyone. Some people may enjoy the contrast of flavors, while others may find it unpleasant. Ultimately, it is a matter of personal preference.

Sprite will not wash down peanuts. Peanuts are porous and do not absorb liquids. Carbon dioxide gas bubbles from Sprite will surround the peanut and prevent the liquid from reaching the peanut. The peanut will float on top of the Sprite.
