It took them decades, but Cap'n Crunch finally has the proper amount of stripes for a captain's ranking.  |

I'm pretty sure King Vitamin isn't even a real king.

I'm pretty sure King Vitamin isn't even a real king.  The guy that they got to play King Vitaman was a vaudeville actor named George Mann, who appeared as the king starting in 1971. In 1977, Mann died. However Quaker Oats kept his face on the box until 2000, another 23 years. Even as a kid, without knowing anything about what I just said, I knew whenever I was eating this cereal, I was getting the gaze from a dead man on the box. Call it a sixth sense, but the saturated image, the hair, the sideburns...all reeked of late 60's early 70's, so it just made sense to me this guy was dead. I typically would have to make sure the box was flipped to the back side. Sure I had memorized all the item locations on the King's Treasure Hunt on the back (since they never changed it for 10 years) but it was better than dealing this guy's creepy dead stare. |

They also finally gave him four fingers. His eyebrows are still attached to his hat though

If you actually go back to when they first debuted him, he only had one stripe. They then added another one soon after. By the mid 80's, he had 3...which is where they kept it until now.

I find marketing fascinating sometimes, like when they update characters and mascots-like when they decided suddenly that Kool Aid Man needed pants. I think about the psychology of it all
