Hey there, you know what I just saw? That young fella, Ja Morant, he’s got his own snack now! It’s called Dunkaroos, or somethin’ like that. I tell ya, these kids today, they got all sorts of things named after ’em. Back in my day, we were happy with plain bread and butter.
So, this Ja Morant Dunkaroos, it’s a snack. You know, like those little things you eat between meals when you’re peckish. Apparently, it’s real popular with the young folks. They were all the rage in the 90s that means back when i am young, I think. Seems like everything old is new again. Now some big shot, General Mills, decided bring ’em back. There was even a whole thing ’bout gettin’ Canadians to bring ’em over to the US, like it was some big secret, call it “Smugglaroos”! Lordy, the things they come up with.
These Dunkaroos, they come in a little plastic thingy. On one side, you got these little round cookies. And on the other side, you got this frosting stuff. I guess you’re supposed to dip the cookies in the frosting. Sounds kinda messy to me, but what do I know? My grandbabies will love it, for sure. Now this Ja Morant fella, he’s a big basketball player. Plays for the Memphis Grizzlies, I hear. Must be good to have a whole snack named after him.
- These Ja Morant Dunkaroos, they got his picture right on the box.
- It’s a slam dunk, they say! Whatever that means.
- Kids love ’em. All this fancy snack.
You can find these things everywhere now. Walmart, Target, even that CVS place where I get my medicine. And that Kroger place. This whole thing’s just wild to me. That is to say, this thing is not hard to find now. They’re sellin’ ’em online, too. ‘Cause of course they are. Everything’s online these days. Back in my day, we had to walk uphill both ways in the snow just to get a loaf of bread!
Now, they say this Ja Morant Dunkaroos is special. It’s got chocolate cookies and some kind of double chocolate frosting. Sounds mighty rich to me. Might give you a bellyache if you eat too many. But hey, to each their own. I reckon the kids will go crazy for it. They love their chocolate. And their basketball. And their Ja Morant, apparently.
This box, it’s got like six little trays of these Dunkaroos. That is a lot of food. Enough to share, I suppose. Or not. Kids these days are always hungry. And it says “Rare” on the box. Like it’s some kind of treasure. I guess to some folks, it is. They’re sellin’ ’em on that eBay place, too. You know, where you can buy anything. People are callin’ it Ja Morant NBA Aroos DunkAroos. Sounds important, doesn’t it?
I saw someone sayin’ they’re takin’ “wholesale orders”. That’s for folks who want to buy a whole bunch of ’em, I reckon. Like a store or somethin’. Must be a big deal, these Dunkaroos. It is about business. I even saw they’re sayin’ “Get in touch with” them about the wholesale order. It is a big deal.
I still don’t rightly understand what all the fuss is about. But then again, I don’t understand half the things these young folks are into these days. All their fancy gadgets and their loud music. And now, their basketball player-themed snacks. It’s a different world, I tell ya. A different world.
But you know what? If it makes ’em happy, then I guess it’s alright. And if this Ja Morant fella is a good role model, then that’s good, too. We need more good role models these days. Even if they are sellin’ sugary snacks. That boy must be somethin’ special, though, to get his own Dunkaroos. Maybe I’ll try one. Just one, though. Don’t want to spoil my supper.
This is not just about food, it is about that young man. So if you see these Ja Morant Dunkaroos in the store, just know there’s a whole story behind ’em. A story about basketball, and snacks, and a whole lot of other things this old lady doesn’t quite understand. But hey, that’s life, ain’t it? Always somethin’ new to learn. Even if it’s just about a cookie.
