Silly, empty utterances from Jenn who knows nothing about a subject but writes about it anyway.

For those of you who haven’t heard of Goober… Goober is a delicious combination of peanut butter and jelly together in the same jar.
The best of Smucker’s … all in one jar. Goober combines wholesome fresh-roasted peanuts and Smucker’s Concord Grape or Strawberry Jelly to create peanut butter and jelly perfection.
My mom would by a jar for me and my sister on occasion. I loved it! I still love it - I just bought a jar yesterday. I was just thinking about how much I appreciate the little things my mom did for me when I was a kid.

A young girl out of Montana (whoop whoop!) won National Geographic’s Planet Contest by coming up with a mnemonic to remember the planets’ order. “My Very Exciting Magic Carpet Just Sailed Under Nine Palace Elephants.”
Okay, so I just happen to know the order of the planets by memory and I was stumped when I got to “Carpet.” What planet starts with a C? Well, back in 2006, the International Astronomical Union classed Pluto as a dwarf planet, along with Ceres and Eris. Now we have eleven planets in our solar system. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Eris.
Lisa Loeb recorded a song based off this mnemonic and I just listened to it - now it’s totally stuck in my head! It’s a cute song and an unforgettable way to remember the order of the planets from the sun.
Listen to the song at National Geographic
Take a look at all the planets
By the way… three other objects in our solar system may become classified as dwarf planets: Sedna, Orcus, and Quaoar.
