I thought he was a slave boat captain.

All I remember from them was the roof of my mouth stalagmites and my breath smelling like a puppys.

I prefer frosted cocaine corn flakes.

Give the kids what they want. Birthday cake for breakfast! They want crunch, throw in some lollipops.

I’ll stick to oatmeal.

Sugar is poison.

My parents only let us have oatmeal or eggs with a side of bacon or sausage or this ham called “Canadian” bacon. Once in a while we were treated to a sugary cereal like Raisin Bran or Corn Flakes, but only as part of this important nutritious breakfast of eggs.

Oh, and pancakes with bacon or sausage.

I thought my parents hated us at the time, but they loved my brothers and sisters deeply.

... a sugary and crunchy cereal that won't get soggy in milk for over 50 years.

How many preservatives do they put in this stuff?! Start the bowl as a child, and finish it as a middle-aged adult!

LOL. I was so addicted to these things as a kid I even used them as a topping on ice cream.

“Out of all the cereals, Cap’n Crunch is the most time intensive. If you eat it too soon after you pour the milk on, it will rip the roof of your mouth to shreds. You wait too long, and the captain will put a coating of film on your teeth that a wire brush can’t get rid of.”

Growing up mom said no to pre sweetened cereal. Of course we doused out regular cereal with sugar. And sugar on the grapefruit too.

I thought Clark Griswold came up with the non-nutrative cereal varnish.

I still eat the stuff sometimes - tiny bowls with no milk, and not for breakfast lol.

But if you have to have milk, make sure it's ice cold and finish it before it gets soggy.

Classic and delicious.

It didn’t mention the vanilla flavored Vanily Crunch they sold for a while.

I also thought they might mention Cap’n Crunch’s related cereals Quisp and Quake, also Jay Ward characters.

Quisp was the best.

I will have to ask my dentist if he recommends Cap’n Crunch. I always ask him if his favorite Holliday is Halloween.

While I loved Cap’n Crunch in the early days...my go to cereal was always King Vitamin. Breakfast with the King!

I don’t think I’ve ever tried Cap’n Crunch. When I was young I remember eating cereals like Fruit Loops, Rice Krispies, Frosted Flakes and Lucky Charms.

Upon entering the Deutsche Reichsmarine in 1938, Leutnant
(W.) Siegfried “Wolf” Crunch was assigned to the
Torpedoboote “Aufschlagspritzer”, as assistant to the
Besonderen Offizier T.O. (Torpedo Officer). At the onset of
war he was promoted and transferred to the Unterwasser-
waffen branch as the political officer of Unterseeboote (U-
boat) 133, which became notorious for its high tonnage of
mostly unarmed cargo vessels (and several neutral ships),
after he had taken command following the suspicious death of
the ship’s Captain.

Assuming the field rank of Kapitan-leutnant (W.) (which was
never confirmed), he soon began a reign of undersea terror
and treachery unmatched in the war. Labeled a “rogue” by
German Naval HQ, his reckless brutality eventually caused
his crew to mutiny, during which he managed to scuttle his
submarine, at the loss of all hands, while making his way to
an Argentinian trawler on a life raft.

Still a young man, he quickly amassed a fortune in South
America, allegedly through the use of slave labor, and later
was instrumental in the plot to assassinate Juan Peron.
Relocating to the United States in the early 1960’s, he was
fired from his job at Kellog’s for wanting to put sugar
frosting on corn flakes, which they deemed “unhealthy”. But
his invention of a secret process to keep cereal crunchy,
even in milk, redeemed him with the breakfast-food industry
and the rest is history.

That was the most interesting thing I’ve read in a while. Of course I grew up in the Golden Age of childhood...60s-70s. BTW...the complete Bullwinkle franchise is available on DVD and very reasonably priced on Amazon. A box of PB Crunch and I can recreate those glorious Saturday mornings!
