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!

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

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

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:
