Back in 1986 America was head over heels for Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee. Australia became a huge thing and Australian characters popped up in several tv shows, movie and cartoons. In 1990 Betty Crocker debuted an Australian sounding snack with a kangaroo mascot, named Sydney, called Dunkaroos. These snacks held about 10 cookies and frosting for dunking the cookies. The name was a portmanteau or Dunk and Kangaroo. I was at a local grocery store today and I saw them so I picked up a few packages, one for everyone in the house, so the kids could also enjoy this sweet treat from when I was younger.
