Woman Sues Cap'n Crunch
Ya think? www.myfoxchicago.com/dpp/news/offbeat/Woman_Sues_Captain_Crunch_Cer
A woman in California tried to sue Captain Crunch because she believed the “crunchberries” were real fruit! Janine Sugawara said she was disappointed to find out that the berries were in fact simply brightly colored cereal balls. She said the company misled her by using the word berries and so did the front of the box. A judge threw the case out.
And I always thought my Fruity Pebbles had real fruit too. Darn...

Falan ibn Jihad had this to say:

I want to know where i can buy this cereal along with Berry Berry Kix and the Nesquik cereal in the bronx and/or yonkers.
Here's your last, best hope for a sugary explosion of marshmallow fantasbulousness.
For more exotic breakfast cereals of yesteryear, you should really check out RadarOnline's weirdest breakfast cereal article.
The single weirdest one, for me, was Kellogg's 'OK' cereal. Why is there a Scottish guy on the cover? It feels like a weird sexual appraisement of Scottish men (see my review of 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' for more about the nefarious history of the Scottish man -- they're always either making nanoweapons or despoiling cereal boxes) strangely reminiscent of the lumberjack on 'Brawny' paper towels or that weird bald guy 'Mr. Clean'.
Plus, how is this good marketing in any way? My product is 'okay'? Why not call them Kellogg-brand 'Perfectly Adequates' instead? Or perhaps 'Acceptables'? Oo, mom, can I have another bowl of 'Frosted Hunky-Dory's please!?
Or at least make them into 'OH's instead and put some really hot woman on the box. You would have grown men fighting in supermarkets everywhere for a box of 'Meghan Fox Honey-Coated OH's' with a picture on the box of Meghan pouring honey and/or milk on herself.
That would sell.
But no, Kellogg's puts a hairy Scottish guy on the box instead.
I hate you Kellogg's.
Coincidentally, I think we found Relantel's new avatar pic.
