No snack evokes nostalgia in '90s kids fairly like Dunkaroos. The iconic snack (individually packaged vanilla cookies with dippable Funfetti frosting) was discontinued in America in 2012,but it's finally making a long overdue comeback - sort of.

Smugglaroos is a sharing service website, similar to Uber or Airbnb, and that allows Americans and Canadians to sign up as volunteers to get or deliver Dunkaroos in the US. effect simply,you could be an "importer" who chooses to meet your Canadian "exporter" at a popular spot in your city, and you'd meet in person to arrange the very important swap. While it sounds nearly too crazy to be true, and it's totally real. There are even recommended safety guidelines for participation.

This overwhelming demand led to the creation of Smugglaroos in an effort to reignite the Dunk admire and provide access on both sides of the border. Smugglaroos is a fun and cheeky way to put through (telephone) Canadians with Americans who want Dunkaroos,but can't get them."According to the company, Dunkaroos will halt production next year if sales continue to decline.
