If you grew up in the ’60s—or raised kids or grandkids who did—there’s a good chance you remember Smucker’s Goober: that iconic striped jar blending peanut butter and jelly in one convenient container.
First hitting shelves in 1968, it quickly became a lunchbox favorite, loved for its fun look and no-fuss sandwich prep.
For decades, Goober has stuck with its tried-and-true combinations of peanut butter with grape or strawberry jelly.
But now, after more than 50 years, Smucker’s is giving this classic pantry staple a brand-new twist that has longtime fans asking, “Why didn’t they do this sooner?”
Introducing: Goober Honey.
That’s right—creamy peanut butter swirled with smooth honey spread, all in one jar.
It’s a match that many have made at home for years, but now Smucker’s is offering the convenience (and nostalgia) in their iconic Goober packaging.
It’s a fresh take on a classic that still feels right at home!

A sweet combo that has fans buzzing
The new flavor was announced on social media, and it didn’t take long for the buzz to build.
One excited fan wrote, “Wow, you’d think this would’ve been out ages ago!”
Another added, “I’m def in—my fave PB sammiches are PB and honey
.”
According to Smucker’s, Goober Honey is “the ultimate combo made with creamy peanut butter and a sweet honey spread.”
The company suggests spreading it on sandwiches, crackers, or even mixing it into oatmeal.

Easy to spot, just in time for back-to-school
The new flavor will come in a familiar 18-ounce glass jar with a bright yellow and orange striped lid, making it easy to find on shelves.
While Smucker’s hasn’t officially confirmed the release date, food blogger Markie_devo—known for early product scoops—says you can expect it in stores by August, just in time for back-to-school season.

But there’s no question—this peanut butter and honey combo is stealing the spotlight.
