What the heck is Koogle you might ask?
Koogle was a flavored peanut butter manufactured in the 1970's by Kraft Foods. Let's take a look at the commercial...
In researching this post I couldn't find anyone on Internet who actually liked this stuff. It seems this was the type of product you begged your mother to buy, and then once you tried it you didn't want it ever again.
Koogle was featured in the fun book Krazy Kids' Food co-authored by personal Internet acquaintance Dan Goodsell.
Buy the Book!
There's a lost commercial featuring the Kooglenut monster that would be sure swell to see. Hopefully a resourceful YouTuber will upload it one day.Anyways here's my addition to the Koogle Internet Archives - a scan from the lid of a jar of Vanilla Koogle.
Check out those ingredientsPartially hardened vegetable oils must be 1970's speak for partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Sugar and dextrose is technically the same thing - so this is like Sugar². This stuff must have tasted sickeningly sweet.

Must not have looked too hard when you said you couldn't find anyone who liked Koogle. There is a Facebook page and here's a site with posts from 2008 til today with people who remember and wish they sold it today.

Duly noted Beerziki.
I'm happy to learn there are people out there who enjoyed this artificially flavored peanut spread.
I want to see the commercial where they Koogle things. Koogle Celery! Koogle a nose!
I had the grape flavored Koogle once and miss it.
They couldn't have looked hard enough. This stuff was the best. I'd love for craft to bring it back!
