FACT! #37


Generations of people have grown up with the Cap'n and have been taught since childhood that with his help, we can totally make it hap'n. Cap'n Crunch cereal was first produced in 1963 and the ever famous mascot, Cap'n Horatio Magellan Crunch, was designed by Jay Ward Productions which produced the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon.

Many of the old commercials pit Cap'n Crunch up against the villainous Jean LaFoote, who has made sporadic returns as of this posting. Originally Cap'n Crunch was voiced by veteran voice actor Daws Butler (famous for being the voice of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound and many more.)

As of this posting, no one knows exactly what his feelings are of ninjas. I suspect that, until ninjas attempt to steal his cereal, that he doesn't particularly concern himself with them.
