Why do bars have peanuts and munchies at the bar?!


Question:

Why do bars have peanuts and munchies at the bar?

does it disslove the alcohol


Answers:
To make you thirsty, same as bars that offer cheap chicken wings, usually with hot sauce. Free or cheap food keeps you there as well, to drink more.

The things that are free (or cheap) usually stimulate thirst, so salty or spicy things are offered, chips, nachos, pretzils peanuts. They don't offer things that are sweet usually.

salt makes you thirsty. thus more drinking

You can't be serious with your theory. It is sarcasm isn't it?
To encourage you to drink more. Some serve very salty (free) pizza too.

Yes, that's the reason. Bars musty have something to snack on while having a drink so the drinker can sober up before driving home.

To make you thirsty so you drink more.....

Salt! Salt makes you thirsty and thirsty bar patrons buy more drinks.

salt makes you thirsty, plus, if there is food, you are less likely to leave for a snack and not come back.


plus, it's a nice amenity

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sales technique. Salty foods make you thirsty.

I don't agree with the salty theory - I just think that most people get the munchies when they drink so the bar provides them so you don't leave!

yup, to make u drink more coz the stuff they serve you is usally salty.

To make you thirsty and drink more, any way that's what is does to me

Business strategy. They give something for free but charge you higher on others.

Freebies make people stay longer, and in a bar - the nlonge rone stays, the better the money earned.

I used to work at a bar, and we'd try to push chips on people who were drinking and not ordering food just to try to slow the alcohol absorption down in their stomachs (you can get sick quick if you're drinking on an empty stomach-- and bartenders don't really like cleaning up vomit).
We weren't trying to make them thirsty so they'd drink more, even though it looks that way. We didn't want people falling down drunk, is all it is. (And no, it doesn't dissolve the alcohol at all.)

the 'thirstys' are right!

it is a proven fact that there are thousands of counts of semen piss and **** on the nuts. people go to the bathrooms touch their bits, don't wash their hands and then eat nuts... yummy

To make you thirsty so you buy more drinks and then to help you sober up

Bars have peanuts & munchies so the drinkers can drink more and eat, the more salty food, the more alcohol to buy. But sometimes ewwwww....some munchies are all nasty and germy, so watch out!!

make you thirsty so you can buy drinks
