Please be sure to say hi to the Cap’n Of Crunch next time you’re at the supermarket. The sight of retro-flavored packaging almost got me, and I was surprised at how little the Cap’n has changed. On the other hand, maybe he’s changed more than they’re letting on and their packaging is more of a whitewashing campaign than a Gen-X-ploitation maneuver. Here’s what I saw.

Oh yeah, and Crunchberries were always the best. I think the pink berrypuffs were the only thing the Cap’n ever made that was even a little resistant to milk sogification.
