Jon's Cereal Brigade!

Hi everyone! I'm back from a week of otherwise not eating cereal! Upon my return I found my box of Cap'n Crunch still waiting for me. I've uncovered more facts surrounding this long-lived cereal. It was introduced in 1963, meaning the Cap'n has been supplementing his income with this cereal for over nearly 50 years! Additionally, its flavour is found to be a brown sugar/butter mix, not the peanut butter I originally thought it to be. Now brown sugar and butter make English toffee but in any case it doesn't really taste like that either. Still tasty, though in typing this my cereal sat a bit and did not stay as crunchy in milk as has we've often been told by the Cap'n! Today's video is from the 80s cartoon Teddy Ruxpin! Ah, this cartoon... it wasn't that bad, except its titular character was about as interesting as a bowl of plain oatmeal and the toy was frightening in the extreme. Now let's all sit back with a bowl of root stew and watch... note my shameless plug for science in my choice of clip!
