Goober is a combination of peanut butter and jelly within a single jar and possibly the first such combination of its type.
It is sold in North America and Singapore and is named after the North American slang name for the peanut. Goober was introduced in 1968 by The J.M. Smucker Company under the Smucker's brand. It consists of alternating vertical stripes of peanut butter and either grape or strawberry flavored fruit preserves, or chocolate.
A similar product, sold by Kroger under their name, the Ralphs brand name and as Yipes! Stripes! under Kroger's Disney Magic Selections label.
