Okiepan Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Ever wonder how Smuckers made Goober peanut butter and jelly in a swirl in a jar , Heck when I make a PB&J it just spreads in 1 layer of goober and a slather layer of jelly, a mystery to me .

Subdeacon Joe Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I more wonder WHY they do it. Or, more to the point, WHY PEOPLE BUY IT! As to how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 When you do it yourself you can get some real good jelly or jam or preserves. I bought Goobers one time and one time only. Not very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I tasted the purple grape jelly until I was about 12 years old. We made apricot, strawberry, and pomegranate jams and jelly and would trade with friends for other kinds.

My mom made plum jelly from two large plum trees we had, I thought everyone had plum jelly! I too was about 10 year old when I tasted Welch's grape jelly at a friend's house. I buy strawberry preserves now. I'll look for the natural preserves instead of Smucker's etc. even though that's not bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 When I was a kid I recall my Mom buying the Skippy Stripe PB&J and then she bought the Smuckers Goober. I didn’t care for either as you didn’t seem to get enough jelly and I also preferred Strawberry Preserves over Grape Jelly. The grape jelly they used was kind of “blah” to me. My brothers and sisters would have deep meaningful conversations about which Peanut Butter / Grape Jelly combo was better as I ate my Jif peanut butter and Smuckers strawberry preserves sammiches with lots of preserves on them.

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 No childhood PB&Js here; I was a Fluffernutter kid, and always did about 3/4 Fluff to 1/4 peanut butter; had a serious sweet tooth. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
