Recently Nissan USA hosted national and international media journalists to ride and drive the new 2013 Nissan Altima. During this event, they used Goo Goo Clusters in a very unique way! In order to demonstrate the innovation, competitiveness, and weight reduction of the 2013 Altima over the 2012 Altima, they asked the question, “How many Goo Goo Clusters of weight did Nissan Engineers remove?” Check out the display above. That’s 723 Goo Goos! As a parting gift, Nissan gave the media visitors a little taste of Tennessee- a few of those very Goo Goo Clusters!

You may have noticed that things were a little quiet around the Goo Goo Cluster social media realm for a couple of months. Well, this little guy was the reason! Born in late January, baby Archer is the newest member of the Goo Goo family. Mommy was off taking care of him for several weeks, but now she’s back and ready to have some fun around here. Have a photo of your kiddo sporting Goo Goo gear or enjoying a Goo Goo Cluster? We’d love to see ’em. Email them to us at and if it’s okay with you, we’ll share their cute faces here on the blog and on our Facebook page! facebook twitter pinterest google+

In support of Geography Awareness Week’s “Adventures in Your Community” theme, Collinwood Middle School teacher Sherri Collie recently taught a lesson on Tennessee businesses. As a part of the lesson, her 7th grade students were tasked with creating ads for businesses in the state, including Goo Goo Clusters! She was kind enough to share some photos with us, so I thought I’d share a few with you. We’re glad to hear that not only did the Goo Goos bring back special memories for the older people of the school and for their visitors, but we’ve also created some young new Goo Goo fans! facebook twitter pinterest google+
