Goo Goo Clusters

The world's first ever combination candy bar was invented in 1912, in a copper kettle at the Standard Candy Company in Nashville, TN. It was a roundish mound of caramel, marshmallow nougat, fresh roasted peanuts and real milk chocolate. The Goo Goo Cluster represented the first time a candy bar consisted of more than just one principal ingredient. For a time, it was impossible to ask for a Goo Goo by name since no one could decide what to call the delicious thick clusters of candy. The story of how the candy came to be named comes in many versions, the most likely being this; Howell Campell, Sr. used to ride the streetcar to work every day and would talk the matter of naming the candy over with fellow passengers. Mr. Campbell was announcing to fellow passengers on the streetcar his newborn son's first words and a schoolteacher made the connection with the candy. She suggested Mr. Campbell name his treat Goo Goo! It is so good, people will ask for it from birth! The Goo Goo Cluster family consists of three flavors: Original, Supreme, and Peanut Butter: Original: Milk chocolate, caramel, marshmallow nougat, freshly roasted peanuts Supreme: Milk chocolate, caramel, marshmallow nougat, pecans Peanut Butter: Milk chocolate, peanut butter, freshly roasted peanuts
