Every 90s kid remembers Dunkaroos as the holy grail of snacks. This tasty treat was recently resurrected in 2020 after a lengthy campaign by fans and now the brand is announcing the launch of a whole new flavor option: orange sherbert. The new labor is inspired by another classic childhood treat: orange sherbet tubes, like that of the Flintstones variety. Playing on this summer-ready ice cream, the new Dunkaroos Orange Sherbet flavor combines classic D-stamped vanilla cookies and an orange sherbet-flavored frosting that's perfectly made for dipping. The new Dunkaroos Orange Sherbet flavor will only be available for a limited time from [7-Eleven](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-oreo-zero-sugar-slurpee), [Speedway](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-beverages), and other retailers across the U.S. Image Credit: @Dunkaroos on Twitter ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Limited-edition Snack Flavors:** The popularity of limited-edition snack flavors among nostalgic adults creates opportunities for companies to experiment with unique flavor combinations. - **Nostalgic Food and Beverage Products:** Reintroducing discontinued and nostalgic food and beverage products, like Dunkaroos Orange Sherbet, can capitalize on consumers' emotional connections to childhood favorites. - **Innovative Flavor Pairings:** Incorporating unexpected and unique flavor pairings, like orange sherbet and vanilla cookies, creates opportunities for brands to stand out in a crowded market and offer novelty to consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Snack Foods:** The snack industry can capitalize on the popularity of limited-edition snack flavors by introducing new and unique offerings to appeal to nostalgic adults. - **Confectionery Manufacturing:** Confectionery manufacturers can explore innovative flavor pairings, like orange sherbet and vanilla cookies, to create new products that stand out in a crowded market. - **Retail:** Retailers can increase foot traffic and appeal to nostalgic consumers by stocking discontinued and nostalgic food and beverage products, like Dunkaroos Orange Sherbet. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cereal-Flavored Cookie Snack Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-crunch-dunkaroos.md) - [Revived Soft Serve Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-serve-flavor.md) - [Sherbert-Flavored Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sherbet-rebel.md) - [Sweet Creamsicle-Flavored Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-dream-drink.md) - [Citrusy QSR Frozen Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-dreamsicle-frosty.md) - [Popsicle-Inspired Fruit Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-sherbet-sunnyd.md) - [Nostalgic Soft Serve Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-squeeze.md) - [Nostalgic Citrus Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bell-ice-cream-orange-swirl.md) - [Galactic Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-space-dunk.md)
