But strangely still had cut out masks for kids on the back of the cereal boxes. I remember the bizarre sugar->health transition well. King Vitamin (1968-2019) was cheap bootleg imitation Cap'n Crunch (1963-current) long before Malt O Meal economy bags of bootleg cereals copied all the name brands.

Quaker gave up cartoon mascot marketing King Vitamin to kids "Sugary Sweet Tasty Little Crowns...Kids Love'Em!"
to marketing to health moms
"A CornandOat Multivitamin and IronSupplementCereal"
Then fiber geezers demographic
"A LowFat and CholesterolFree Food Excellent Source of 8Vitamins and Iron"

Well you've dredged up a recollection from the briney depths: seems to me back in my seafaring pirate ship model building days that instruction diagrams had similar shapes listed as "lashed cargo bundles" right next to suspiciously Crunchberry shaped pyramids of cannon ball shot. Could be sails too

Now you have opened another treasure chest/barrel of worms...
I always called those "Poofy Jackets" but wouldn't be opposed to Michelin tire coats. I wonder what the actual official answer is now

We could call the number in the Crunch catalog for a definitive answer, or at last resort ask King Vitamin what he thinks, as he has contemplated Capn Crunch Cereal far more than anyone else

Today, Wednesday November 12th 2025, is the day the very last U.S. pennies will be struck at the mints. Makes me so sad. I have always liked coins, cash and getting change in particular to squirrel away in my numerous piggy banks. I fondly remember 1¢ and 5¢ candies in the bottom racks at 7-Eleven

I am not certain how we got pegasus but I bet we had the individually packaged one and got all the dudes on card. I have a picture somewhere of us unwrapping presents and a carded calibos is between me and my twin @nlogan77.bsky.social
All of our original figures were hammered so I customized them

Best medusa on film?
Seven Faces of Dr. Lao (1964) gave us these two that will turn you to stone, then there is The Gorgon movie (1964) but nothing will ever top Ray Harryhausen's version of Medusa in Clash of the Titans (1981)
