Goo Goo®
Clusters memories... During the sugar ration in 1945, candy was
scarce. My great uncle owned a store and knew Goo Goo Clusters was my
favorite candy. (I was 11 years old.) When he got Goo Goo Clusters in
the candy shipment, he always called me to come get mine. He had to
hide my Goo Goo Cluster to keep his employees from getting it. One
day, I was eating my candy and several kids on the street in front of
the store tried to take it away from me, so I wasn't the only one who
loved that candy! ~ Joan from Alabama

In 1901, Howell Campbell, a Tennessee candy
maker, founded the Standard Candy Company in Nashville. Originally located on 1st Avenue in downtown
Nashville, Mr. Campbell, a 19 year-old entrepreneur, had big dreams
for his new candy company.
His philosophy was simple: use only the finest, most
wholesome ingredients combined with time, care and experience to make
confections of outstanding richness and flavor. The business soon grew into a flourishing family
enterprise that became known throughout the area for its
delicious assortment of high-quality confections.
The first products sold by the
company were hard candies and
chocolates. Mr. Campbell's most well known candy, the Goo Goo Cluster,
was a completely new and revolutionary candy invention.
In 1912, "America's 1st Combination
Candy Bar" was developed. Howell Campbell was the very first confectioner to
make a candy bar with multiple ingredients (i.e. with more than just
solid milk chocolate). He made Goo Goo Clusters by combining peanuts, caramel, marshmallow
and milk chocolate together into a deliciously round cluster. Goo Goos
were originally sold unwrapped in big glass candy jars. People loved
the delicious new concoction and Goo Goo Clusters soon became the
company's best selling product.
