"Growing up, there wasn’t a happiness that came close to the sight of Dunkaroos packed in your lunchbox,” wrote General Mills in a very bold press release upon announcing the item's return. (Apparently, any child born after Dunkaroos were discontinued in 2012, has never known true happiness like '90s kids.)
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Luckily, in addition to killing industries, millennials also love to wistfully recall their childhoods, and so Dunkaroos is making a comeback.
“For those who grew up in the ‘90s, the original cookie-frosting combo represents the taste, color and fun of being a kid during that decade. We know there’s a lot of love for Dunkaroos, and fans everywhere have been asking for it. We’re excited to help ‘90s kids relive all the best parts of childhood,” said Jeff Caswell, president of Snacks at General Mills, in a press release.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Since being discontinued in the states, consumers in Canada were the only ones able to “relive all the best parts of childhood,” which, in this case, means dunking a tiny graham cracker in frosting. However, now American Dunkaroos fans will be able to taste that sweet '90s elementary school snack starting sometime in “summer 2020," according to the vague announcement.
And as evidenced by Dunkaroos’ recent Instagram profile, people are excited.
“I’ve been talkingn [sic] about this for 3 years,” one person wrote.
