Boiled peanuts???!!! 
Nothing I’ve heard of before 
But I’ve found a recipe:

Yes indeed. It is a Southern thing, and especially a Georgia thing. When I first moved to Georgia (1986), it was very common to see roadside set-ups where people had big kettles, boiling them over a wood fire. The peanuts are grown mostly in southern Georgia (President Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer there). Most of the boiled peanut stands are in north Georgia, closer to the mountains. I was told by locals back then that if the peanuts were not being boiled on-site, by a redneck and his wife, and if either of them had more than three teeth
the boiled peanuts were not authentic
.
Regardless, you paid your money, the enterpreneurs scooped a large perforated ladle full of peanuts in-the-shell from the salted water in the pot, drained it, then placed the drained peanuts in a paper bag. (Later years, plastic bag). People eat them while driving, tossing the shells out the window, or sometimes when they got to their destination.
Proper pronunciation is not "boiled peanuts". Instead you should say "bold peanuts". Per article in the link, "You used to could get" is a perfectly acceptable Southern phrase. Down here, Southern is capitalized, northern is not, and d@mnyankee is a single word (or at least it used to could be
).
You can still find roadside boiled peanut stands every weekend out in the country, along the roadside.
