What's the name of that peanut butter with the jelly mixed into it? Goobers. It's really good but I really have to question the name.

 

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

A million years ago when they first came out with that p-nut butter/jelly combo stuff I tried it and truly hated it!!! YUCKY tasting stuff>>>> and Goober isn't that the name of some "Andy of Mayberry" character? LOL

 

[Cook Chatty Cathy]

Oh and yes we must never forget that really funny name....

You either love it or hate it Hee-hee!

I think they got the name from a person who ate it and he pointed his finger towards the cook and said "Sue She!" after he could catch his breath, then he went out looking for a good lawyer!
