News Cap'n Crunch sails into Retirement

[Miz]

The Soggies have finally won: Cap'n Crunch is quietly sailing into retirement.

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, DailyFinance reports. 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. Sales of the cereal were down 6.8 percent in 2010.

WTF?!?!?! NO I LOVE CAPN CRUNCH! This is bullshit and I won't stand for it! Of course they peddle it to kids - it's a fucking cereal. They can take that stupid bunny if they want, but I am NOT letting Capn Crunch go away, we're making a petition and I'm stocking up on it. What's next, Pop-Tarts?

 

[sqrage]

That's shocking. I used to love that cereal back when I was a kid. I hate cereal now though, takes like 3 or 4 bowls to fill me up for more than 10 minutes.

Oh hell no

 

[Wummi]

Noooooooo! Mutiny!

 

[Monsterous]

If more of these die, then to hell with these cereal killers!

That just sucks though I don't eat much Capn' Crunch anymore.

 

[Varine]

I haven't eaten it for a while either. It cuts the roof of my mouth, but damn it's tasty. And even if it wasn't good, who the hell is anyone but me to tell me what it is I can and can't eat? I don't wanna live in this perfect world they're trying to make, I want to live in my world where I can be a fat douchebag who eats nothing but shit and smokes flavored cigarettes.

Err, wait. Is "No longer actively marketing" the same as "not producing"?

... uhh... I don't know we might have jumped the gun on that one. But still, WTF? I noticed that the biggest issue - the fact that it CUTS THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH OPEN - was not one the list of reasons.

And don't forget Apple Jacks, Jedi. Apple Jacks are the shit. I buy them by the giant bag fulls, then I take up three seats on the bus carrying my giant bag fulls.
