    Cereals going retro too

    Saw a box of Cap'n Crunch today at Kroger sporting a retro look to it. It's a real big shock when you see it sitting on the shelf next to the modern boxes of the same stuff.

    I heard about this, but when I checked at the Safeway near my house, they don't carry ANY of the Cap'n Crunch cereals. Man, now I gotta go to Lucky's.

      I've seen those. At first I thought it was another one of those "anniversary" type gimmicks where they temporarily use a vintage image for a product's packaging but it appears that these are the new boxes.
      Personally I like the previous ones better although I kind of dig the new logo.
      I did find a pic of the new front & back but I couldn't find peanut butter or crunchberries pics.

        Wow! Even the Crunch Berry Beast is back. That's wicked!

        Retro Crunch
        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

          Spoke too soon. That site you posted clearly states
          Find the limited edition Cap’n Crunch vintage packaging at a store near you
          so it's just a temporary gimmick like i suspected when i first saw them.
          Still cool to see.
          I also noticed they haven't been on sale lately like they usually are.

            Oh man...too bad my tastes have changed since I was a kid....otherwise...I'd buy them.

            I no longer like those sugary cereals...I'm strictly a plain Kellogg's Corn Flakes and Cheerios man...with sliced fruits, like bananas and berries.

                As a Kid, I LOVED the Toys they put in the Cereal Boxes...like Sea Creatures, and Moon Men, etc...

                  My local market has a display of Quisp on the end cap, it seems so out of place.

                    Check out the retro look and taste for Pepsi , Mountain Dew, and Dr Pepper. Scary to see the ad that says "made with real sugar". Egads. What have kids been drinking all these years?

                        I had to look at the capn crunch twice when I saw the packages. I only wish they would do the retro cereal toys now


                        Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?
