1. Sacrilege!
There is only one kind of Cap'n Crunch, and that is original Cap'n Crunch. All the rest is abomination! Peanut Butter, Chocolate, Crunchberries, Vanilla: all will be swept into the pits of hell on the Final Day.

Crunchberries used to be acceptable under Crunchist doctrine, until they started making them multicolored. God made Crunchberries pink, and pink they should have remained.

2. there is something wrong with the chocolate in this cereal
it tastes really strange. it doesn't taste like any cereal chocolate i've ever had.

but yes, you are correct, the original cereal with the pink berries, back when they scraped the skin off the top of your mouth --that was the stuff.

3. Don't they do that anymore?

It's been years since I last had Crunchberries, but the shredded-mouth effect was the high point of the experience. I developed a fondness for the taste of sugary blood from that day to this.

Are you saying they've made Crunchberries safer?!?

7. LOL! There it is, the perfect...
...cereal for chocoholic vampires. I used to love that stuff too. Much better than the diabetic-coma-inducing Frankenberry or <gag> Booberry.

8. Lol! ...Bwahahahahaaaah...sorry but...
You gave me a double laugh,if not a triple !

But cerealy,it brings back memories:

When I was a kid and the first Star Wars movie came out,

I remember when I was going to sleep at my cousin's house

and he was playing the soundtrack,the cantina part,and we

were eating Boo-Berries cereals and imagining that it was

alien food.Lol!


Hey,whatever...:)

9. I was such a sucker for anything remotely "spacey".
I've probably taken a decade off my life expectancy through drinking gigaliters of Tang and eating "Space Food Sticks" during my childhood, just because the Apollo Astronauts had consumed them on the way to the Moon. I swear, if the astronauts had eaten their own excrement on the voyage, I'd have spent half my time in the john with a knife and fork.

I prefered Quisp over Quake, because "Quisp" was from space. Honestly. It was pathetic. I was the easiest mark for space-related marketing that ever lived.

So I can really get behind your "Booberry alien food" fantasy. Hmmm, I wonder if it's too late to go to the grocery store...

12. "if the astronauts had eaten their own excrement on the voyage,.."
ROTFL!!! Thanks for my first real hard laugh of the week! :)

Yeah,I know what you mean.What are we waiting for ?

Sure that until someone find something precious enough

on an asteroid or a planet there will be no "space rush".

I wonder what it would take to give a big kick into those

corporate leeches butts to move their @%&#.Because real space

exploration won't come from Governments like the race to the moon.

That was a political statement,nothing to do with Science at all...

Sadly.

Hey! I just remembered something.When Apollo 11 took off and got

to the moon I was about 20 milles away from Cape Canaveral!

I was 2 years old. :)

13. It really offends the secret hippy in my soul...
...that our species only seems able to rise above itself when big bucks are involved. I'm firmly of the "boldly going" persuasion. Swanning around the galaxy meeting cute green women seems infinitely preferable to grubbing around the surface of asteroids, looking for some mineral worth selling.

I was seven when I saw Eagle touch down at Tranquility Base, and the impression it made is just as strong today as it was then. I knew for an indisputable fact, from that moment on, that I would be an astronaut and live on the Moon. I'm still hoping...

14. Yeah,I feel the same...
It's very depressing to think that all the human "bounces" were due to

greed.Barf!

When I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey the first time, I was about 8 years old and

it impressed me to a point...Damn! Arthur C. Clarke was an optimist.

I remember seeing him on TV saying:"I should have called this 2100 A Space Odyssey... "

The only thing that will get us off this rock is,unfortunatelly,greed.

A search for profit and a little science on the side.

Well,I hope we'll go beyond that.

15. You are sooooo wrong about Peanut Butter Crunch
That stuff is the fracking food of the gods.

I've never tried any of the other Cap'n Crunch isotopes other than PB and original.
