I miss Dunkaroos (what are your favorite discontinued snacks from the 90s/00s?)

My family was kinda poor growing up in the 90s, so we really couldn't afford a lot of junkfood. But whenever we could, first on my list was always these processed, completely unhealthy goodies. My favorite was always vanilla, because I remember the chocolate ones having a weird aftertaste or something.

Also this:

Best breakfast cereal EVER!

My Costco still sells Dunkaroos, I think. I'm like 94% sure. Kansas.

PM me and I'll buy you a box and ship them next time I'm there in the next month or so :-)

We have this thread every once in a while, and I'll say the same thing now that I said last time:


P.B. Crisps.

Dunkaroos were horrid though! And the commercial song for them was awful and catchy as well.

Also everyone knows the greatest discontinued thing ever were sour altoids.

Dunkaroos still exist! I know because my now ex-girlfriend bought me a me a massive crate's worth for my bday after having very same discussion a few years back. Then we broke up a week later for unrelated reasons.

It was the saddest box of Dunkaroos ever :(

We had these shitty cupcakes with fake bites taken out of 'em that were really good.

Keebler made delicious itty bitty chocolate blossoms that were really good.

The 90s Peanutbutter Snickers were something great that peanut butter bars since can't match.

Also Amazin' Fruit gummies comes to mind...but those maybe weren't the best.

The GOAT yogurt

I straight up can't have yogurt anymore because none of it is anywhere near as good as Sprinklins.

You bankrupted her. She had to choose a new life on the street.

Sounds like it was definitely worth it tho

These and the aforementioned Dunkaroos (though apparently--judging by the responses--Dunks are just difficult to find...) are at the top of my list

Ricicles used to have marshmallows in them like lucky charms in America. Now they're just rice crispies and I'm importing lucky charms because I'm a child.

So how did you guys used to dunk them? I usually did a double backflip into a perfect two finger dunk.

I had dunkaroos like 5 years ago. Still pretty good.

But you can dip Teddy Graham's in frosting and it's pretty similar.

I would kill if Doritos extreme chips would come back, don't remember the flavor but they had a neon green foil looking bag. 95% seasoning 5% chip lol. Also Keebler pizzeria chips.

I loved Dunkaroo's, don't know why they stopped making them.

Used to have them along with a bottle of this:

Also another favorite of mine was the little Koala shaped cookies with chocolate in them, though I think they still make those (but they are harder to find these days from what I can see, and more expensive).

Poppin Jalapeno are pretty alright but nothing has topped these yet imo

Yeah, but then you didn't have to share your Dunkaroos

Sounds like a win to me

I liked Dunkaroos and Gushers

Also loved the Fizz candies, but you can still find them at specialty stores. They aren't easy to find though. Those were the best. Warheads too.

I could have sworn that back in the early 2000s there were Snickers candy inside a shortbread cookie in the same style as Sandies, but I couldn't find any images for this thread, just lots of suggestions for homemade Snickers cookies.

I'm with a few of the above posts: 3D Doritos were the absolute shit. Bring them back instead of a random, nasty flavor of regular Doritos nobody cares about.
