Cap'n Crunch brings back painful childhood memories

Published on February 27, 2007 By Sugar High Elf In Misc

I realized yesterday morning that I had no food to eat for breakfast. I have to have something, or I'll never make it through my classes. I ran to the convenince store across the street to buy some form of breakfast food.

They didn't have much. The only thing I could find that I would eat was a box of (overly priced) Cap'n Crunch and a half gallon of milk. "I haven't eaten this stuff for years." I thought to myself. "I used to love this cereal."

Now I remember why I stopped eating Cap'n Crunch. The roof of my mouth is in shreds. I can't even eat a sadwhich without pain. Now I remember the childhood agony of a ripped up roof of a mouth. Now I remember asking my parents to buy a different cereal.

However, since I'm broke and I paid for this stuff, I'll be eating it for the rest of the week.

Ouch.

Ow ow!!
I remember the pain of Cap'n Crunch and I'd rather walk the plank or have my arm chewed off by a crocodile. Okay, scratch that last one. And perhaps the first one if there are crocodiles in the water.

I'm not too fond of crocodiles myself. However, walking the plank might be preferable to to having pain from drinking a soda.

Argh.

I always let'em soak for a little bit...but I remember they were a little rough on the ol' mouth...

Ah, yes, that's why I loved Cap'n Crunch . . . masochism to the highest degree.

Never could stand the taste of Captain Crunch, so I guess I missed the mouth abuse.

I like Cap'n Crunch, I really do. I just don't know how much more I can take of this. It's day three, and I'm still eating the cereal. Maybe my mouth is becoming numb because the pain is actually decreasing at this point.

HA! Have you tried sucking on it until it's mush? Then chew up whatever's left.

In 1978 I choked and nearly died on a morsel of Cap'n Crunch. My big brother gave me the Heimlich maneuver. He was only 5 years old! Smart kid. Thanks to him I'm here to join in your conversation today.

I leave it in the milk until it gets kinda mushy... but if it gets too mushy, then I can't eat it. It makes me gag.

Death by Cap'n Crunch? That would be a really crappy way to die. Thank goodness for your brother!

I say...if Cap'n Crunch is painful, you're not eating it right!

My children's and my favorite pastime is munching down on a big ol' box of Crunch Berries.

How am I supposed to be eating it?

Oh, and warning: never eat it raw. I remember doing that as a kid. Never, never again!

Oh, and warning: never eat it raw.

Only if it's Crunch Berries. the smoother berries make the crunchier pieces okie-dokie.
