Cap'n Crunch retiring?

Although it's not clear if the cereal is really being discontinued, or will it be marketed with a different name.

Good. That stuff always tore my mouth up.

 

[SilverSurfer]

Say it isn't so!

 

[Spiff]

It's been ages since I last ate any. But I may have to grab a bunch of boxes before they disappear. I have the rest of my life to eat it, the shelf life is like forever. Gotta get them Crunch Berries too. Oh, and the peanut butter variety. From what I remember, this stuff is like crack for children.

This was my FAVORITE cereal as a kid... FREAKIES!!! Anyone but me remember them???

... and I agree... Capt. Crunch tears up the inside of my mouth too.

I always hated them, it was my brothers' favorite....


so I am glad it's going away

This morning I teased a co-worker that brought in a bowl of the "rainbow" Capt'n Crunch...It's old-school cereal but still a favorite...

I'm a Frosted Flakes guy so I'll survive if the Capt'n sails away for good...

I remember those commercials from way back when for peanut butter crunch..
Good commercials but bad cereal.

While I ate Cap'n Crunch occasionally, I preferred Quisp!

But how will I fuel my children-powered turbines now?

False alarm. It was just shoddy media reporting based on rumor and no facts. And it didn't even come from Fox News, imagine that!

Speaking of cereal, I could mow down a bowl of Cookie Crisp right about now...

Quisp was one of my favorites too

Guys, Quisp is still being made! You can buy it on the interwebz!

The stuff ain't cheap, but because you CAN get it...

Good to know. I've always loved me some CC. And I still have a Freakies magnet on my refrigerator.

 

[jackoroe]

I do remember Capt. Crunch being kinda rough on the roof of the mouth. Of course I eat organic granola now, which is as bad if not worse.

 

[Callum]

Hmmm, I don't recall ever cutting the roof of my mouth on the cereal. I haven't seen it on shelves in years though. Is it still sold in Canada?

 

[AlmondMilk]

I prefer Cinnamon toast crunch, since it's the taste I can apparently see. But maybe I should get some Cap'n in case they really do retire it within the next few years

Thank goodness! I did not want to hate chubby kids for killing the Cap'n off.

 

[Joshua_me]

Well, that's a royal kick in the crunchberries, isn't it ?

The question is MODERATION, folks. When I was a kid, most kids I knew ate it and none of them were fat....

Of course, we actually went outside to play, too.... Hmm.....
