Dunkaroos Are BACK, So '90s Kids Everywhere Are In For A Sweet Reunion

Over the years, the Internet has played host to an ongoing list of things that were taken off of the market before their time: Doritos 3D, Nestle Wonder Balls, Butterfinger BB's, Reese's Elvis cups — the list is cruelly long.

Some snacks have been revived, but others are still fighting at a second chance for life.

One thing that has lingered in everyone's mind is the disappearance of the ever-popular Dunkaroos.

When you think about it, and ignore some of the more practical arguments, it just doesn't make much sense that such a successful snack should be ripped from our childhood and thrown into the abyss, never to be enjoyed again (unless you were willing to risk the chance of being tracked down for illegal activity).

That is, until now.

On Monday, February 3, Dunkaroos ended years of hoping, speculating, and even petitioning when they announced that every '90s kid's favorite sweet and crunchy snack has finally started its journey back to shelves.

After eight long years, Dunkaroos have been moved to the list of childhood favorites that are"Definitely coming back," according to the snack's Instagram account.

While Dunkaroo's various social media posts do not say much about a release date beyond the vaguest hint of "summer 2020," they do give us all something to look forward to.

Once we finally reach our #BodyGoals for the summer, we'll be able to reward ourselves by bingeing on our favorite cookie and frosting combination. It's been so long that it will be hard to pass up the offer.

What we do know is that the revived Dunkaroos will first be available at select 7-Eleven locations, then at other gas stations and grocery stores.

We also know that, while the original treat came in several different flavors, General Mills announced that the original "Vanilla Cookies with Vanilla Frosting with Rainbow Sprinkles" variation will be the only flavor making a comeback.

Perhaps we can only ask so much at once, but that doesn't mean we won't keep pushing for other variations next year.

So start stashing your money in that little piggy bank from home, folks. Summer 2020 is looking to be a great season for snacking.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
