General Mills Just Crushed Kim Kardashian's Dunkaroo Dreams
Yesterday, Kimberly Kardashian West took a break from defending her husband on Twitter to talk about something else near and dear to her heart: Dunkaroos.
In case you forgot about them, they looked like this:
Now, a couple days ago, Twitter user @_LukeKellly sent Betty Crocker (the company that blessed us with the sprinkle-and-frosting cookie snack in the ’90s) a DM asking just how many retweets it would take to bring Dunkaroos back.

This is fake
But wait! @_LukeKellly came back with some sort of proof that they were indeed DM’d by Betty Crocker:

Well, there you have it friends. Dunkaroos are not coming back to American shelves but if you live in Australia you can feast on chocolate hazelnut Dunkaroos. Or, don’t be lazy and make your own.
