We don't know how, but we missed a major scandal brewing in the Navy for decades. It's important, so even if we're a little late to the story we still wanted to point it out: Cap'n Crunch is an impostor.
The Cap'n was unmasked on June 14 by a food blogger, who noticed the uniform he wears on cereal boxes had the stripes of a commander, not a captain. That is: A captain has four stripes on his sleeve, while a commander has three.
As the story spread, the Navy confirmed what you might be fearing: Cap'n Crunch is a fraud, tricking innocent children since his introduction in 1963.

a lot of commanders are ship’s captains, adn addressed as such....heck, ‘Captain’ bligh was actually a rank Lieutenant.
What about the Skipper on Gilligan’s Island?
Well, of course: Cap’n Crunch is far more respected than Barack Obama. .
NPR hopes the captain crunch scandal deflects attention away from the myriad of Obama scandals bursting into flames all around him.
Your tax dollars, hard at work in their new HQ.
Sold a lot more product than Barry ever did.
Now, let’s talk for a moment about Captain Fantastic.
He wasn’t a captain and he was hardly fantastic.
I trust NPR has also launched an investigations into Tony the Tiger and Sugarpops Pete. Meanwhile, the background of the world’s biggest imposter, Baraq Hussein 0bama, remains very cloudy.
OK, that’s kinda funny.
Next you’re going to tell me that King Vitamin isn’t a real King.
We hard an Army Mike Boat working for us for a couple of months. The skipper was a SP4 named Spanky. On the water we called him Cap’n.
That stuff always hurt my mouth.
What they do not take into consideration... is that there is a rank of captain in the Navy O-6, but a Commander can be the Captain of a ship...
BUMP!
Until Post brings back Frosted Rice Krinkles (which they have no intention to do according to them) I am stuck eating this Cinnamon Toast Crunch crap.
2600...
Who says he’s in the “U.S. Navy anyway? Is his hat navy issue?
It must be awfully boring to work at NPR, if this sort of childish nonsense is all they’ve got to do.
Reminds me of the libs who wanted the “Roadrunner” cartoons quashed because they were “too violent”.
The arrested development of the left never fails to amaze me.
This is bad. I remember what happened to Adm Boorda.
I know- that’s why you gotta eat the whole box at once- because you can’t eat anything else for a week
