My coworker who sits next to me and I were talking about the next happy hour our part of the office has to do and we suggested doing something to revisit our childhood. We made a list of things like pb and j sandwiches, fruit roll ups, little debbie snack cakes, gushers, capri suns, lunchables and several other iconic items from our childhood lunches. I of course mentioed Dunk-a-Roo's and the subject of WHERE THE HELL DID THEY GO? Came up.
I did a search and according to wikipedia they are a betty crocker product and still available in some Canadian and American stores. They mentioned Costco so i looked up the website and no dunk a roos at costco. i even searched Betty Crocker's website and didnt find it. The wiki article was from 2006 so a lot could have happened since then.
I went so far as to look on EBAY! when i found the image above there is some online grocery store that apparently has them. however, no telling how old the site is and it required authorization to be on the site and to purchase so i couldnt even play around.
Anybody seen some dunk a roo's????
I guess if i got desperate i could get icing and teddy grahams. the ironic part of the whole situation is if i had them i would probably eat one cookie and feel sick. I cant even eat junk food anymore without wanting to throw up. my body isnt used to it. So if we follow through with our happy hour idea it will be fun but I may not enjoy it as much as i think i will. The fun part is the planning part of it.
now they have these nabisco cookie sticks with icing which i bet are not the same. ugh!
i did not get to rejoice in the wonderfullness of "dunkaroos" because i grew up in mexico and my mom was very careful about what we ate. i ro remember Gansitos! they were delightful chocolate covered sponge cakes with strawberry filling. nom nom nom
