About
As of 2026, it's 34 years old.
Dunkaroos understood that kids will eat almost anything if you let them dip it in frosting first. Little kangaroo cookies plus a tub of rainbow-sprinkle icing, it was less a snack than a coveted lunchbox bargaining chip — trading away your Dunkaroos was a power move.
Launched in 1992 and tragically discontinued in the US, it spent years as the dearly departed snack millennials wouldn't stop grieving on the internet.
Sweet, fun, and built entirely around dipping, Dunkaroos is the '90s snack so beloved it got resurrected by pure nostalgic demand.
