Yet another military scandal erupted earlier this month when Foodbeast blogger Charisma Madarang questioned the military service of Cap’n Crunch. While the cereal icon (né Horatio Magellan Crunch) has captained the S.S. Guppy since 1963, Madarang uncovered a disparity between the number of bars on Crunch’s sleeve (three, which denotes the rank of commander) and the four bars featured on a Naval captain’s uniform.
The U.S. Navy is now investigating the service record of Cap’n Crunch. From Col. Sanders to Captain Kangaroo, the stories behind some old soldiers can be found here.
