"Go get a Goo Goo...it's goooooood"

Goo Goos were part and parcel of my childhood in BNA. The Standard Candy Co in BNA still makes 'em and they are available at any Cracker Barrel store (which has HQ at Lebanon TN near BNA)...so convenient for my occasional cravings. I tend to favor the Supremes with pecans these days.

Standard Candy Co also used to make the King Leo peppermint sticks in the round metal tin...anyone seen 'em lately?
