Goobers memories... When I was about
five or six, my parents took me to the park. It was a hot summer day,
and we were on our way to my aunt's house. I was being pushed on one
of the swings. I just loved the swings. All of a sudden, I fell of and
bumped my head very hard on the pole holding up the swing. So the
tears came flowing, and my mom went to our cooler to get some ice.
I had a huge bump on my forehead.
Finally, my mom said she had some candy for me. I asked her what kind,
and she said it was called Goobers. She gave me the package, and I
happily ate them all. My mom said the Goobers made me feel better
because they were magical! Of course, at that age I believed her.
Unfortunately, to this day I have not been able to find a single
package of Goobers in a store. ~ Lisa from Wisconsin
Sometimes during the summer months in the mid to late 60's when I was 8 or 9 years old if my
brother and I had been very good all week, our parents would take us to the drive-in on Friday or Saturday night. Our town had 2 drive-ins.
One was the Skyview and the other was the Goober.
We would take a picnic supper and after we had eaten all of our supper we were allowed to go to the
concession stand to buy something for dessert. I could hardly wait to get my quarter so I could go buy a box of Goobers. Between the movies
(it was always a double feature) we would go to the concession stand then down front to the swings. Ahhh! what memories! ~ Kay from Alabama
