Looks like you just saved me the trouble. He strikes me as more of a Quake type, though.
“And before you laugh that comment off, how many of you buy tampons for your lady?
There are some things an old man just won’t do!”
Aww come on. Are you afraid the cashier is gonna have trouble and have to cry out for a price check on that item? LOL
Capt. Crunch was also great late night, ah, munchie food in college.
All for Michelle. The FLOTUS' pantry is probably overflowing with the little sugar blobs. The White Hut can then rename the cereal Cap'n Caboose, after the horder-in-chief herself. You, OTOH, need to cut back.
I will buy a box of peanut butter and incorporate it into my weight watchers plan....I think it’ll be yummy with a glass of vino...
I knew Cap’n Crunch when he was only an ensign.
That's the way it was in my family. I was a Quispite and my brother was a Quaker. I wonder if they're still being sold?
And liberals claim Conservatives stick our noses in everyone’s business. It is just the opposite!
They will continue to sell it, but they will stop marketing it directly to kids. That is all they have said.
Basic Oats and Cheerios are my favorites . . .
though Sugar Crisps are OK too.
I just had the wifey get a box yesterday, after a few years. Always liked it, and Sugar Pops, Frosted Flakes, Cocao Puffs. There was a sugar coated puffed rice one, too, but can’t recall the name.
Saints presarve us!
;-)
First they came for the Sugar Jets
Then they came for the Kelloggs OKs
Then they went for the Kellogg’s Puffa-Puffa Rice
And now they are killing Cap’n Crunch.
As long as they leave my Chocolate Covered Sugar Bombs alone....
A movie keeps coming to mind, might be called “Judge Dredd” or some such......Life is once again imitating art.
I’m sure the health activists and the White House mean well, but we all know what is paved with good intentions. This story reminds me of the candy cigarettes and cigars I used to partake of as a child. They were supposed to be bad influences on kids, and are no longer allowed, but they never caused me to want to use tobacco. Good parenting renders a nanny state unnecessary. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad parents running around.
A friend of mine got in a fistfight over this issue when he was in 3rd grade.
They better not take away the new Frosted Bite-Size Mini Wheats!
When I was in Coast Guard boot camp a long time ago), there would be special mornings when an announcement would be blasted through the mess deck: “The Captain is on Deck.”
We would all smartly stand at attention and wait for what seemed like forever, waiting for the CO to make an appearance. Then one of the company commanders (a chief) would start tossing the single serving boxes of Cap’n Crunch around to us recruits.
Then the CC would tell us it was a reward for doing something well the day before. We worked our asses off every day in the hopes of getting that special treat.
I will never forget that, but interestingly, I haven’t eaten that cereal since.
