Dunkaroos are coming back – and we’re planning a party

Dunkaroos are coming back – and we’re planning a party

If you were a kid in the 90s, there were only two ways you got your hands on the frosting and cookie combo that was General Mills Dunkaroos.

Either you had the ‘cool parents’ who didn’t yet understand this phenomenon called corn syrup. Which meant your house was the happening place, full of Mondo Fruit Squeezers, after school snacks that involved frosting, and some combination of pizza rolls, Hot Pockets, or Taquitos.

Or you were the kid whose mom gave out peanuts for Halloween. You quietly coveted the pack of Dunkaroos some other student at the lunch table may have gifted, as if Christmas morning arrived early.

We won’t have to wait much longer to get our hands on the iconic vanilla cookies and the rainbow chip frosting. General Mills’ announced Dunkaroos will rollout nationwide to convenience stores and grocery retailers in July 2020.

This year has been… rough. Pandemics, school closings, now we’ve got some sort of zombie hornet to watch out for too. We’re done. Instead we’ll be over here just planning a Dunkaroo Summer Party.

Parents: Your children have been safe inside your homes. It’s time to bring out the sugar and turn up the tunes.

Dunkaroos Summer Party Checklist

– Jorts or shorts with Cargo Pockets will be acceptable attire
– Capri Sun and/or Mondo Coolers
– Taquitos
– A slip and slide (because what summer party is fun without one?)
– The ultimate 90’s playlist. We’re thinking some Spice Girls, NSYNC (for the cool kids), Backstreet Boys (if you’re into that sort of thing), No Doubt (for the rebels), and who can forget – Mariah Carey.

Happy Dunking!
