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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
