There was once a drink sold in my Upstate South Carolina area called “Penderine” that was made from peanuts and DNA (which were once called “penders” and “nuclein”). I don’t think it ever rose to the level of popular, but it sure fits “archaic”. [![](https://i.imgur.com/Ll2uzsu.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/Ll2uzsu.jpeg) It was advertised heavily in the [1905 Anderson City Directory](https://archive.org/details/andersoncitydire1905unse/page/n3/mode/2up) (which is an interesting artifact itself—it was a “phone book” predecessor before there were many phones, listing everyone in the city by address, name, and occupation.) (Penderine is almost impossible to google because Google insists that I want to know about a different word with a different spelling and will not accept otherwise.) --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/archaic-beverages/967329)._
