National Chocolate-Covered Peanuts Day

Today there are many brands, but the original chocolate-covered peanuts brand was Goobers, first sold in 1925 by the Blumenthal Chocolate Company. It is now owned by Nestlé. "Goober" is a slang word for peanut around the world; it was likely derived from the Gullah word for peanut, which is "guber."
