Retro Cereal Boxes Are Back!

My mom isn't a big cereal person. If and only if she buys cereal, it is usually some healthy crap like shredded wheat that nobody eats. This is why I was so surprised when I seen a box of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch in the cabinet. I don't know what possessed her to buy it but either way it was there. After pulling the box out I was in store for another surprise. The front of the cereal box had the old school design on the front. I later on searched through Walmart and found that there was quite a few retro cereals. It was cereal designs on different almost a beautiful thing. I felt like a little kid standing in front of my favorite cereals shelves. I wanted to take a picture of all of them but I voted against it thinking that everyone in the store would think I'm some kind of wacko or cereal killer. (Get it?) Still though, it was great to see the Cap'N Crunch I knew instead of the computer graphic Cap'n that he became unwillingly. It's strange to see the changes the cereal mascots have gone through in the passing years. Anyway, it's nice to see the old Cap'n, not this:

  1. Nifty retro cereal box! On an interesting note BTW, Cap'n Crunch was originally created by Jay Ward, the creator of Rocky and Bullwinkle.
