   There was once also a really excellent GooGoo Cluster ice cream, but I haven’t seen it for sale in years.

   I’m glad the kind-of hometown kid made good here, but I still don’t care for them too much.  Just too sweet for me.  Good base hit, not home run.

   I hear the new CD by the GooGoo Clusters is terrible.

   No, wait ... that’s the Goo Goo Dolls.

   Never mind.

   This sounds very interesting, i’ll have to take a look at the dollar store next time.  I like marshmallow candies like rocky road…

   I bought one of these today on a whim and was pretty disappointed. I checked the date and it said “Best By 4/12/09” but it just tasted bland and stale. The peanuts especially tasted stale. The chocolate was not that great and neither the caramel nor marshmallow had much, if any, flavor. I’m really glad I only bought one and even more glad that I also bought a Reese’s because I used it to get rid of the lingering flavor of the GooGoo Cluster.

   I used to buy Goo Goo liqueur when I lived in Nashville in the 80s. When I couldn’t find it any more, I asked the company, and they said they licensed the name to a private label alcohol developer, who did it for a while, but stopped after a coupld of years. I’ve got about half a bottle left, which I sip only on rare nostalgic occasions.

    Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Nashville made a “GooGoo Freeze” from GooGoo Liqueur, and it was to die for. They blended the liqueur and chocolate Haagen-Dazs to the about the thickness of a DQ Blizzard. Heavenly. I dearly miss it.

    John: What a great archaeological find.  Better than King Tut’s tomb. If you’d consider selling one, that’s me waving my arms. You could mention it here, or, if you put on eBay mention that or—can I give you an email here for personal contact. I’ll try. Boris (at) alumni (dot) reed (dot) edu.

    By the way, do we all know how Goo Goo got its name? The company was the very first radio sponsor of the Grand Ol’ Opry, in Nashville, and they needed a name for their candy bar. Grand Ol’ Opry was known as “G O O” and the rest is history.

    I called Goo Goo Cluster directly - the woman I spoke with says they do not currently have any ice cream vendors however they hope to have the Goo Goo Cluster goodness back in ice cream form within one to two years!!!!!

    I am ECSTATIC at this and I am certainly going to keep everyone posted on when I *FINALLY* find it!!!

    I would greatly enjoy a bottle of Goo Goo Cluster Liqueur. My Mom would enjoy it on some Bryer’s vanilla bean ice cream. She passed away the Sunday before Thanksgiving 2007. I would enjoy having a bottle so I could put a spoonful or two on some ice cream and remember.

    goo goo clusters are now made under a new formula , and I HATE IT , I bought one recently and didn’t like it, WISH they would bring back the old recipe it was better. And the price is a lot higher
