Halloween Countdown 2009 Day 23: Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch

I bought a box of Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch a few weeks ago when it was on sale at the local Wally World. The jolly cereal captain was wrapped up like a mummy on the front of the box. The so-called ghosts were more like round blobs than actual shapes. The milk did turn a light green but the effect worked best in a red bowl. The back of the cereal box was the real treat since it had Cap'n Crunch's Haunted Mansion filled with games like word search and scrambled letters. More spooky games can be found at Cap'n Crunch's official site.

Superman Crunch Cereal

When Superman Returns was about to hit the theaters, Quaker released a slew of edible products featuring the Man of Steel. The Limited Edition Superman Crunch Cereal was basically Cap'n Crunch with red shield shapes that turned the milk blue. The back of the box has a board game and directions on how to play the Superman Returns Instant Win Game online. I would have preferred a mini-comic featuring Superman joining forces with Cap'n Crunch to combat Lex Luthor and Jean LaFoote instead of the board game.

Here are the pictures of the Superman Crunch Cereal box:

Other edible products featuring the Man of Steel that Quaker produced included Superman Edition Life (not found in local stores), Chewy Cranola Bars with Superman chocolate chips (I enjoyed a box of them) and Pata Roni Four Cheese Pasta Superman Limited Editon (never looked for these so I'm not sure if the local stores stocked them or not).
