Goober (brand) facts for kids
Goober is a fun food product that mixes peanut butter and jelly all in one jar! It's super handy because you don't need two separate jars. You can find Goober in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore. The name "Goober" comes from an old American word for peanut, "goober pea." This word itself came from "guber," a name for peanuts used by the Gullah people in the past. The Smucker's brand first introduced Goober.
