My mom would never buy this for me when we went to the grocery store. It was either too expensive, not on sale, or she didn't have a coupon for it. I sensed she just wanted to deny me the pleasure of this ingenious invention, where peanut butter meets jelly, in the same jar.
I bought a jar today at our local Hy-Vee for $2.99. That seemed like a fair price, as I have passed it up many times during previous trips to the grocery store the last 9 years i've been an independent person. Tonight, was the pinnacle of my achievement as an adult.
Now, I await tomorrows lunch, which will feature a goober grape sandwich. The surrounding cast, will really not matter.

You like to live dangerously?
That's the beauty of being a grown up. You can eat a goober grape sandwich whenever you want and you never have to finish your vegetables.

Me too! My mom would never buy that stuff. I finally got ahold of a jar of that when I was like a jr in HS, I worked at a grocery store and smoked a lot of pot. Damn near ate the whole thing, haven't had it since, but man was it good. You are in for a treat.
I think they make a strawberry kind too.

Picturing someone getting high and just eating a jar of that with a spoon is hilarious.

I ate some serious stoner food on occasion back in the day. Makes me want to throw up now. One time a buddy and I made sandwiches with white bread and chocolate icing. I don't even like chocolate that much! :shake:

Why do Jack in the Box Tacos taste better after 10pm?
"How many should I order?"
"Like a hundred."
"THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKIN!!!"
Also... gummi bears come in 5lb. bags.

My dad would never buy cookie crisp when I moved out I finally bought one. WTF I figured it would be crushed up chocolate chip cookies, but it is like a cereral. Who wants that. So I just bought some chocolate chip cookies and crunched them up and poored milk over them. Best day of my life

It is a HUGE disappointment. The peanut butter sucks as does the jam. It is much, much better to get quality peanut butter and quality jam/jelly. The novelty of the ready to go PB&J wears off after the first bite because you've already had the "woot" moment of smearing your PB&J onto bread in one fell swoop. Look at it this way: using separate PB and J will allow you to vary the J--and let you lick off the knife in between (unless you are married, in which case, just do it when the wife isn't looking).

You know I could go for a sandwich, but uh, I’m not gonna open TWO jars! I can’t be opening and closing all kinds of jars… cleaning, who KNOWS how many knives!?!” If you’re that lazy, why not put croutons in there and get the whole sandwich on a spoon. You know, just scoopin’ it out… “Mmm…Oh, scrumptious!! I think I’m gonna have another one. Uh, mmmmm… DELECTABLE!! As was the first!” Or if you don’t wanna clean the spoon, you put it all in a squeeze bottle. “Mmmm! Lunch and no clean up!! Can life get better? I submit that it CANNOT!!”

QFT. I worked at Kroger in High School, and I like the OP never had a chance to taste that wonderful product, until I purchased it on my own. It is not very good at all, to be frank, it sucked.

So did it live up to expectations?
I always wanted Goober Grape but when I finally reached adulthood and was able to buy it myself I seem to remember the peanut butter tasted more like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cub and less like peanut butter.

He said he was going to eat it at 11:30am, so he hasn't partaken of it yet.

I wanted Count Chocula but my folks would never go for it. Thank God for Grandma's!
I fuckin' LOVE cereal. I go to the store and buy a huge bag of generic Crunch Berries, and always grab a handful coming and going from the kitchen.

I stopped by the grocery store this morning to pick up some bagels and some bread, and I passed by the Goober Grape and I picked up a jar myself. The whole office is having PB&J for lunch today.

...we do not have that up here in Canada - I guess it is sold to increase your BMI so you pay higher taxes down there.

It's not that good really. I tried some a couple years ago....and it's WAYYYYY overrated.
It took you 9 years to save up $2.99?
Times are tough NOW, but 9 years ago was height of the internet bubble. You should have made your move back in early 2000. JMO.

It was about what I expected - it is pretty sweet, and the consistency is about the same as a reeses peanut butter cup. I normally prefer chunky peanut butter so it was kind of odd.
I think it would be better to eat on it its own, to be honest.

That sounds like a great mix for a Hershey's super-dark and sweet chocolate bar.

I have never tried the peanut butter/jelly mix but I was really disappointed with the peanut butter/chocolate mix in a jar (I don't remember what it was called). I love Reeses but this stuff sucked. Bad peanut butter and bad chocolate in a pasty mix. :shake:
When I was a kid, all I wanted was a bathtub full of gummi bears. Quality gummi bears not that overly corn syruped dime store crap. Haribo Gold Bears bitches. Unlimited supplies of them. I was convinced that was all I needed to be happy in life.

I haven't filled up a tub yet, but I do have a few bags of these on hand at all times. Best gummi bears ever. Those Germans know their ****ing gummi bears. No letdown in satisfaction. This is the only candy I ever need.
