I knew that 1/2 breed kenyan was up to no good. :monkey:

Ironically, after having lunch at the White House a few weeks back an aide foisted multiple boxes of red-white-blue Presidential M&Ms on my grateful kids (who had already filled their pockets from the various other M&M dispensers littering the West Wing.)

The Soggies have finally won: Cap'n Crunch is quietly sailing into retirement.

Long derided by health experts for its high sugar content – a single serving contains 12 grams – the cereal is no longer being actively marketed by Quaker, DailyFinance reports. It appears parent company PepsiCo is forcing the good Cap'n to walk the plank.
Cap'n Crunch was once the No. 1 breakfast cereal, but pressure from the White House and health activists is having an effect on how PepsiCo and other food companies peddle their products to kids. Sales of the cereal were down 6.8 percent in 2010.

I'm stocking up! Don't mess with my Crunch Berries, or I'm voting GOP next time.

I buy the Malt O Meal generic brand anyway, should be ok.
