It’s been many years since I have even seen Goo Goo Cluster candy bars. They were favorites of mine and my older sister used to make fun of me for being so nuts about them. I didn’t care one little bit. A lot of years ago they disappeared from the candy sections in the stores here. I’d forgotten all about them until I saw this story. I used the Find A Store app and there they were- just a short drive from my house! I can’t even describe how much I loved them and glad it makes me to have found Goo Goo Clusters again! — Carol Mitchell facebook twitter pinterest google+

My dad worked as a welder and carried his metal lunch box every day. In the evenings sometimes he would surprise us three girls by having one of us carry in his lunchbox and at least once a week when we opened it there would be three Goo Goo Cluster treats for us. To this day, 50 years later, it is still my favorite candy treat. None other compares. — Beverly Forester facebook twitter pinterest google+

I saw on Fox News this a.m. that GooGoo Cluster was celebrating its 100 birthday. I can remember when I was in grade school (mid 1950’s) getting to go across the street to a little neighborhood grocery store and buying a GooGoo Cluster. I had to save my allowance money in order to buy it – I think it cost ten cents back then. It was a REAL treat since I had to save and pay for it myself. Happy Birthday! — Ann Rebholz facebook twitter pinterest google+

Several years ago I was dealing with relocation specialists in MI. I had a great relationship and I wanted to do something for them for Christmas but didn’t have a big budget, so I bought a case of Goo Goo clusters and sent it to them. They all flipped over them and said they were gone in one day. Later the next year one of the specialists came to Nashville on vacation so we got together. She told me that the rest of the crew told her that she couldn’t come back without at least two cases of Goo Goo’s. I was thrilled to think I helped make Nashville to be known for more than just country music. — Sarah Fitts facebook twitter pinterest google+

Last week the Goo Goo Cluster crew, including our friends, the Hogslop String Band, traveled from Nashville to take on the Big Apple! We kicked off the trip with an early morning appearance on Fox and Friends on Friday. Fox and Friends co-anchor Steve Doocy wished Goo Goo a Happy 100th Birthday on air! Then Friday night it was off to Broadway! The guests of Chaplin the Musical got a really sweet, surprise ending- Goo Goo Clusters! Wayne Allen Wilcox, who plays the role of Sydney Chaplin, Charlie’s brother, just so happens to be a Tennessee native with ties to Goo Goo Cluster.  He performed at Opryland theme park when he was in high school. The theme park (sadly not around any longer), was also the home to the Grand Ole Opry, which Goo Goo Cluster was a sponsor of for 4 decades. “Look at us, Goo Goo Clusters and me from Tennessee, bringing a yummy taste of home to Chaplin in NYC,” said Wilcox. On Saturday, Dylan’s Candy Bar, the 3-story flagship store located at 3rd and 60th, celebrated Goo Goo Cluster Day! Customers of all ages were excited to sample Goo Goo Clusters- many of them for the very first time. Thankfully displays throughout the store were overflowing with Goo Goos, because as soon as they got a taste of the gooey confection, they wanted to know where they could find them. And they weren’t just picking up one- they were grabbing them by the handful! “Making Wrinkles […]
