Navy suffers further cuts under Obama

Capn Crunch is quietly retiring under pressure from White House.



Isn't anything sacred any more?



I loved the cereal as a kid. When my kids started eating cereal, I made sure they tried it. They weren't the fans their old man was. But I learned a hard lesson: That stuff would rip my mouth to shreds if I had more than a bowlful.

This is a sad day. I love the Capn!

There's always the Malt-o-Meal knock off stuff.

To be fair, EVERY department of the goverment should face budget cuts - including defense. If they want to let a Crunch go to help save some money they should. Let's be honest, he was a Captain for a very long time. Why did he never make admiral? How many times was he passed over. He had a good long run. Time to sail off into retirement. And if it helps the fiscal crisis along the way - even in a small way - that's just a bonus

I've always thought the Cap'n would be a victim of don't ask don't tell

Obviously you are wrong and please tell me you really didn't go there with Cap'n Crunch?!!!!! That's just sooooo wrong. :gross:

The article doesn't say specifically that Cap'n Crunch will no longer be available, but that they will no longer be marketing it directly to kids. I imagine something similar to the Camel cigarettes marketing change years ago, where they start using this guy in the commercials instead:
