The boiled peanut on its way to becoming official state snack
(Columbia) April 30, 2006 - OK, all you boiled peanut lovers, it's time to unite. The mushy nut is well on its way to becoming the official state snack. 

Gov. Sanford is traveling to Rock Hill Monday to sign a bill into law that would make the boiled peanut exclusive to South Carolina ... sort of.

Sanford will join Winthrop University graduate Tom Stanford, who proposed the idea, and Rep. Gary Simrill who signed the legislation.
