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

Long derided by health experts for its high sugar content Ã¢â,¬â€œ a single serving contains 12 grams Ã¢â,¬â€œ 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.

It's all a marketing stunt to promote Charlie Sheen's new Tiger Blood cereal.

I'm gonna buy a box of Crunch Berries and keep it for ten years and then film myself eating it and play it on the holo TVs that watch over the barren wastelands.

Next time I get paid, I'm going to buy at least 10 boxes. Why not discontinue a shitty cereal like Honey Bunches of Oats

Every time I've had it, I felt like I had to vomit right after. It's just not my cup of tea at all.

Yeah it's about a hundred times better than Cap'n Crunch.

If every cereal in the world besides Honey Bunches of Oats was discontinued, I could not give a shit.

Seriously though I've never had a bowl of Captain Crunch without the roof of my mouth feeling like I just ate a cactus

Posting here to say I hate Honey Bunches of Oats.

Captain crunch was good, though I haven't eaten it since I was a kid. I didn't realize it had that much sugar in it.

Peanut butter was good but also cut my mouth
