We just got our latest shipment of Goo Goo Clusters and the discussion arose as to where this candy got it’s name.

We went to Standard Candy’s website and this is the story…

According to the manufacturer:

Mr. Howell Campbell ( the inventor of GooGoo Clusters) used to ride a streetcar to work.
Soon after he developed his delicious new confection, word spread quickly about this uniquely round shaped treat. People didn’t know how to ask for or what to call it.

Mr.Campbell was extremely excited that his newest concoction was the talk of the town but even he himself was baffled as to what to call his newest creation.

One day Mr.Campbell was announcing to fellow passengers on the streetcar his newborn son’s first words and a schoolteacher made the connection wit the candy. She suggested he name his treat, GooGoo. It is so good that people will ask for it from birth!

In keeping with the launch of the 2005 remake of Willy Wonka, now known as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, we have recieved our shipment of the fabled Wonka Chocolate Bar.

These great tasting bars are great looking and with every bar is the chance of winning “buckets o’ cash” which translates to $10,000! Of course, you have to find the elusive GOLD WRAPPER which won’t give you keys to the kingdom but will give you some serious spending money…

We would love to hear to hear your thoughts , opinions and ramblings about the new film as we greatly value the opinions of candy lovers around the globe.
