[Art Divine]

Friends, when you buy those Goo Goo Candy Clusters, you'll discover a taste treat that is also a truly nourishing lunch as well as an energy pickup for real eating goodness, Goo Goo Clusters are the candy supreme. When you open that wrapper, the rich aroma of pure milk chocolate tempts you to take that first bite. Right away you'll taste those crisp, fresh peanuts. Then you'll bite into a creamy layer of soft, smooth, golden caramel. And then your teeth will sink into that tender white marshmallow and you'll realize you never knew before how good a candy treat could be. It's nourishing for youngsters too, for Goo Goo clusters contain vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, E and G and other nerve protecting, bone building, growth promoting elements necessary for healthy bodies, sound teeth and sturdy bones. Recent scientific surveys prove that one out of every four children today lacks sufficient energy producing foods in their diets. A problem you can solve with a Goo Goo Candy cluster, an energy pickup that rounds out your diet.

[Art Divine]

Friends, do you know why Goo Goo Candy Clusters are always so good, so crisp and fresh? Well, for one thing, those peanuts are dry roasted. The usual method of roasting nuts is to boil them in oil. Very much like French fried potatoes. The nuts are often cooked on the outside only, leaving the inside unroasted and soft. With dry roasting, the nuts are cooked all the way through. All the moisture is roasted out so the nuts stay crisp and fresh the same. Special care to ensure eating goodness for candy freshness is taken with Goo Goo's own special blend of rich, delicious milk chocolate, soft, creamy golden caramel and tender marshmallow. It's not only a treat, but a nourishing diet balancer and energy pickup. A perfect lunch. Remember, Goo Goo Candy Clusters are good and they're good for you.

[Cousin Loy Buck]

Thank you, Ott. And now, here's our last contestant, little Mike Roberts, the boy who plays the guitar a la Chester Atkins. SA.
