The peanut butter captain crunch cereal box annoys me

Here's a cheaper way to get the same nutritional goodness of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, without having to look at the ghastly box:

Take one slice of squidgy, mass-produced white bread, smear on half-teaspoon of the cheapest peanut butter you can find, then dump a tablespoon of white sugar on top. Fold over to make sandwich and enjoy striking a blow against huge multinational corporations that don't regularly change their packaging.

(Like the majority of crap American breakfast "cereals", CC is one-third sugar by weight.)

NO, I like it when a cereal box NEVER changes!

Never been a cereal fan... But I kinda get why they don't change the appearance. People get used to a certain thing. If you change it, people have to find that same product with it's new look. It takes a bit of time and the general, stupid shopper has no time for reading and analyzing. They just look at the colorful picture on the product and the logo. That's why many products retain the same image for a long time and change their advertising strategies very little.

Tho there is one thing that annoys me about supermarkets and product selling in general. The insanely annoying and stupid jingles they use for a product, or for a supermarket. Laundry detergent does NOT need it's own music! What idiot came up with that nonsense?!

I grew up in the sixties. Even way back then, my mother had a thing about "empty calories"; in other words, food that was mainly sugar and fat. So we never had soft-drinks in the house, and breakfast was either cooked and some variation involving the traditional eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc, or it was oatmeal or Cream of Wheat.

At some point in my early primary school years, I came down with a bug, and I got it into my head that what I desperately needed to make me feel better was some Captain Crunch cereal. For some bizarre reason, my mother decided to indulge me, so she went to the store and bought some. I ate a couple of spoonfuls and the stuff was so damn sickly-sweet and fake-tasting that I promptly barfed all over the bed.

That was the last time I ate Captain Crunch. More than half a century on from that morning, just the name is still enough to make my stomach do a little lurch.

I see where you're coming, so I think it's normal. But I actually like it when companies don't change their stuff too much like this.

that shit still exists? wow I kinda thought they redesigned a lot of those characters in the "calarts style", like lucky charms.

Captain Crunch doesn't bother me. What bothers me is how I don't see those tasty Cinnamon Vanilla Lucky Charms this year. They had them last year around the wintertime. Instead they got the same box design as the cinnamon cereal, but it's the standard chocolate one with holiday shapes. I miss the cinnamon one! It tasted like a crunchy cinnamon roll!

The cereal itself has gotten worse over the years. I do not really notice the box of cereals though. Except 30 years ago when Kroger had those yellow "cost cutter" labels where it was just a yellow label with a photo of the product and the name.

If this is your biggest problem.
You're lucky as hell.
Why not put your thought and attention to something that actually matters?

I would say that is not normal. I wouldn't care as long as the cereal itself is still good. ;)
