Younger DUers, help me out, What in the hell is a joob-joob?

I heard it on a commercial on a Canadian radio station about five years ago, and I just heard it again on the Cartoon Network. It seems to refer to a piece of candy, but I'm old, so what in the hell do I know?

2. Thank you!

It was driving me nuts! I didn't think the answer would be as simple as the humble jujube, but I guess the kids nowadays have lost me with their newfangled lingo. I guess this officially makes me an old fart. I guess I'll go to the icebox and get myself a sasparila while I listen to the radio broadcast. :P
