That can't be true! That's impossible!

BTW, to whomever was asking, I found Grape Nut Flakes at Safeway today.

And despite (or perhaps because of) the Cap'n's denials that he's
buckled under to Michelle Obama's nitwit campaign, there was almost NO
presence of The Crunch to be seen.

That's news to me.

It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
for them, it's failing.

When I went shopping Thursday, the shelves were stripped bare
of the Cap'n. Apparently the section of my hometown heard the same
news on local radio stations and decided to do a run on it. I'll
check this week when I go shopping to see whether it continues to be
the case or not.

I saw it on the shelves at Publix yesterday.

I think I saw it at the Walgreens that was sellings eggs for $0.99, but
wasn't paying attention.

I wondered how they got their name too.

Unfortunately there wasn't an empty spot, so I couldn't tell if they
actually were carrying less, or had a run and filled in the gaps. But
there were 4 slots for Crunch, and there used to be that many just for
the different sizes of The Crunch TOS, and one or two for each other
variety.

According to the 22nd Century documentary, Futurama, it will become Admiral
Crunch at some point.
