Cap’n Horatio Magellan Crunch
According to the May 2007 issue of gourmet food magazine Saveur, the full, legal name of Cap’n Crunch is Captain Horatio Magellan Crunch. Who knew!?
As if that wasn’t news enough, apparently Cap’n Horatio Magellan Crunch was promoted to Commodore in 2004.
After 41 years of devoted service to the Quaker Oats Company, Cap’n Crunch was finally promoted to the rank of Comm’dore. “Crunch has shown remarkable dedication to Quaker Oats and we are pleased to bestow upon his betasseled shoulders the rank of commodore,” said CEO of Quaker Oats, Gary Rodkin. “Children the world over, and indeed the meal of Breakfast itself, owe him a debt of gratitude.”
“It’s about damn time,” said the maritime cereal spokesman in his trademark, slightly quivering voice.
