Goo Goo Cluster: How Nashville's 1912 "Combination" Candy Became a Century-Old Icon
Invented in 1912, the Goo Goo Cluster was America's first combination candy bar, featuring caramel, marshmallow nougat, peanuts, and milk chocolate. It evolved from an unwrapped treat marketed as a "nourishing lunch" to a century-old Nashville icon celebrated for its enduring legacy and heritage.
