Goo Goo Cluster - The First Combination Candy Creates a Southern Tradition The world's first ever combination candy bar was invented in 1912, in a copper kettle at the Standard Candy Company in Nashville, TN. It was a roundish mound of caramel, marshmallow nougat, fresh roasted peanuts and real milk chocolate. The Goo Goo Cluster represented the first time a candy bar consisted of more than just one principal ingredient. For a time it was impossible to ask for a Goo Goo by name since no one could decide what to call the delicious thick clusters of candy. The story of how the candy came to be named comes in many versions, the most likely being this; Howell Campell, Sr. used to ride the streetcar to work every day and would talk the matter of naming the candy over with fellow passengers. Mr. Campbell was announcing to fellow passengers on the streetcar his newborn son's first words and a school teacher made the connection with the candy. She suggested Mr. Campbell name his treat Goo Goo! It is so good, people will ask for it from birth!
