I never realized how sweet the stuff actually is. These days, my go-to cereal is Honey Bunches of GMOats.

i remember that it would tear up the roof of my mouth

[Jabadoodle]

Once in a long while (5 years or more?) I'll eat a box of Captain Crunch. Funny, I've no interest or craving for it at all, then one day I'll just have to have some. It's like a virus-craving that sits dormant 99.9% of the time. 

[TEO]

I liked it sans milk like a bowl of kettle corn.

[capt_morgan]

roof of the mouth kanged...even when you let them marinate in the milk for 20 min

[hoagie]

PB Crunch > Crunchberries

I never really liked OG CC

[pixiebug]

I actually bought a box of peanut butter cap'n crunch recently. yup.  tore the shit outta the roof of my mouth.  and didn't taste nearly as good as it did 25 years ago.

 

i'll stick to my kashi go lean

[gregoir]

It's good but if I am going the sugar cereal route it's usually fruit loops

[Lostsailr]

it was the dream cereal for me as a kid in a house that had sugar cereals about once a year.  but plain only, no crunck barries or pb...

[In A Silent Way]

I couldn't stand crunch berries or PB. And triple kang'd on the torn palate. Just give me my Golden Grahms for midnight snack type cereal.

[Ginger Snap]

Peanut Butter Captain Crunch was my favorite bad cereal...I would eat it until the roof of my mouth felt like it would bleed.

You said it hoss...Golden grahams are the shit!

And after a whole box...you get the shits

[CTMuleman]

I recall the roof of the mouth issue too.  It would get me more often than burning it with hot pizza.

 

It was also the secret ingredient to my mom's turkey stuffing.  I've had many a good stuffing, but not one that tasted like I used to remember.

[SunshineDrummer]

Was never a big Cap'n Crunch fan.  Lucky Charms & Apple Jacks were my favorites.

 

Bonus:  No roof of mouth carnage!

Me too.  I loved how it would get all gooey on the top of your mouth though... 

[nikkiblue]

U guys remember when they were discontinueing it?   I picked up like 6 boxes in Stop in Shop before they were all sold out.  lol.  

 

*twinkie'd  lol. 

[Deadshow Dan]

Cap'n Crunch was a go to, along with Honeycomb.

When I was WAY old.... ya know 17, in college.... I found cutting it with Rice Krispies was about right.

Like you used to remember?   How do remember it now?  

 

 

 

We were never allowed to have sugary cerals as kids.

Shredded wheat, Cheerios and Granola were about it.

Strangely, a few heaping teaspoons of sugar were allowed. 

It's no wonder I haven't eaten cereal in 30+ years and have no desire to do so. 

[Depends]

<--- has never tasted Cap'n Crunch

[JBetty]

I have no recollection of ever tasting Cap'n Crunch either.

Seems like we're better off for the lack of experience with such a dangerous cereal. 

[hoagie]

Cap'n crunch was the same cereal as Donkey Kong cereal, just in a different box

 

[Feesh]

Quisp or Quake?

My parents would never buy it when I was a kid.  And look how great I turned out.

 

Oh wait, maybe that isn't such a good argument... 

[Terrapin Station]

Had to eat Rice Chex growing up. Unless my (single) mom went outside the WIC vouchers and used her own money.

 

Still love me some Rice Chex to this day.

[In A Silent Way]

Quisp or Quake?

 

I was definitely one of the weirdos in the Quisp camp. 

[Spidergawd]

My mom wouldn't buy it either, which in retrospect was prolly a good thing.  In the cafeteria of my college dorm, though, they sometimes had it, along with a few other cereals, in  giant plastic hoppers.  I liked it okay, but it was very sweet and definitely annihilated the roof of your mouth.

 

Anyone like Cracklin' Oat Bran?  Now THAT is a good snack, sans milk.

[concert andy]

cinnamon toast crunch

No Frills "fruity rings" during my social services year's as a lad

[In A Silent Way]

[georgi]

I like Fruity Pebbles.  Been gluten free since I was a kid.  I was pretty pumped that was gf because that was the only "garbage" cereal my Mom would buy.  It was always cheerios, total, etc. 

[Terrapin Station]

Had to get them early or they would be gone.

I have rarely eaten any ceral since about 1987, no real reason, it's good food.  I don't like Milk, but it is tastes good in ceral, so this may be a large part.  

 

I remember the Walmart thing about Sam Walton going to meet ceral manufactures and asking them why a solar powered calculator costs half as much as a box of ceral.

I think Quisp went to work for Steven Speilberg in the 80s.

[gregoir]

Now I want Cap'n Crunch Chicken from Planet Hollywood.

[melissaphish]

Jim gets the kids a box for a Christmas treat (they love it but are never allowed cereal that sugary) and we all eat if for breakfast for a few days until it's gone. YUMMY!
