oh no ....


a news headline that caught my attention this night ... "Cap'n Crunch sails into obscurity. Long derided by health experts for its high sugar content – a single serving contains 12 grams – the cereal is no longer being actively marketed by Quaker. It appears parent company PepsiCo is forcing the good Cap'n to walk the plank. Cap'n Crunch was once the No. 1 breakfast cereal, but pressure from the White House and health activists is having an effect on how PepsiCo and other food companies peddle their products to kids."

but cap'n crunch is my favorite cereal. who cares that it has absolutely no nutritional value. it stays crunchy in milk and that is important. it is crunchy sugary goodness and the best on a sunday after church. doesn't the white house have more important matters to attend to then messing with my cereal?

aargh matey...i best go stock up!

Although it DOES stay crunchy in milk, it scratches the heck out of the roof of my mouth. I'd classify it as a love hate relationship. I'll have mixed feelings with the absence of the Cap'n.
