Description
This was a staple for me from 1974 - 1976, during my 2nd and 3rd grade years. I have difficulty remembering all of the flavors that were available, but I believe there were four. The only two I bothered with were chocolate (colored dark brown just like chocolate frosting) and banana (colored yellow). I believe strawberry was another of the flavors available. The spokes character was indeed, as already described by others, a giant, fuzzy, oval-shaped bodied character, with googly eyes all around his head. His voice was reminiscent of those muppetmaster Jim Henson would use. The added incentive with Koogle was to try spreading it over other types of foods and not just bread or toast. A carrot was one of the foods suggested to try Koogle on.

I remember the banana flavored Koogle Butter. Wonderful stuff.
I think the fourth flavor was cinnamon. Man I miss Koogle. Sigh.
The chocolate flavor was the best! I can still remember the flavor, it was great on bananas.
cinnamon,chocolate,banana,and regular.the commercial went koo koo koogle with the koo koo koogaly eyes. the 70's rocked-if anyone figures out how to time travel i woould go back to that time.post a message here if you figure out how.
I loved it! I made my mother buy it every time we went to the store. She stopped buying it because thats all I would eat.
I remember these commercials on TV and I have been trying to remember for years what the product was. I recalled it was some sort of spread. You are all freaks but I am glad you remember so now I can finally put this to rest!!!
My husband and I have been looking for Koogle peanut butter for over 20 years. We use to eat it by the spoonful. We were in the Pittsburgh area when we use to buy it.
Oh you all make me feel so much better - I too have been craving this stuff since the 70's. I lived near Pittsburgh and think I ate it everyday for lunch for two years. I loved the cinnamon. Would give anything for a jar now.
I LOved the chocolate as well! It was like eating a gooey Reece's, only it was "healthy" because it was peanut butter. The jelly one would look like a jar of bruises after a while, because eventually the stripes would invade each other. Banana was also delicious-bring it back-why do they take away all the good stuff??!!
i think the character said something like "sha bat dat wah.....creamy koogle with the goog-goog-googly eyes.
I Can't find it anywhere or anything like it. I told my kids about it and they laugh at me but my favorite was the chocolate also. Sometimes I mix a spoonful of chocolate frosting with my peanut butter to get the same taste. Try it.
I thought this was a figment of my imagination. I am glad that there are others that remember. Oh, how I miss those googly eyes.
JAMES JONES IS A P3NIS!!!!
i remember it well, except for the name. as a little squirt, i just used to ask my mom to buy "googly eyes". she knew what it meant. Banana flavour was off the hook.
I ahev to laugh as I was wondering if it was still being made - Glad to see I am not the only KOOK for good stuff - I miss that someone should re-market the flavors for us 40 somethings!
I loved the chocolate, I would have my mom make me a sandwich with that and ham, good stuff!! My family thought I was crazy. They didn't know what they were missing. They still talk about to this day.
Thank you all for proving I'm not crazy. No one remember this flavored peanut butter but me. I knew I wasn't crazy. I even song the song like "here come google with the goo goo google eyes." I'm not crazy, I'm not looney. Lol. The flavors were chocolate, bananna, cinnomin, and strawberry. My favorite was strawberry, and chocolate. I hate it didn't last long.
Wow the memory you people have. I was just eating p-butter and banana on white bread and I had a flavor flash from the 70's...I tasted the chocolate Koogle in my head. I remember the swirls in the jelly too! Man the 70's RULED. It was the last decade of REAL toys. Koogle product was a 70's icon like the 8-track, am wrist watch, yellow arm-banana am radio, Schwinn stingray, hotwheels, big G.I. Joe...etc.
I have been craving the banana peanut butter flavor for over 30 years. When ever I asked someone if they remembered googly eyes peanut butter they said I invented it in my mind - why was it ever taken off the market?
My Maiden name was Koogle and remember getting teased at school about the goo goo google eyes, aah what a blast from the past. I'm glad everyone enjoyed the peanut butter it was goood !!!!! Wondering? find me on face book
I LOVED Koogle eyes peanut butter, everytime i go get peanut butter at the store i look as if magically it may appear back on the shelf. i have tried them all and nothing compares to Koogle. For those asking kraft took it off the market because of poor sales.
Nutella is nothing at all like Koogle. Koogle was made with peanut butter and Nutella is a chocolate spread with hazelnut. I remember this in elementary school. Hope it comes back one day. It was made by Kraft so they own the rights.
