Two years later, on March 2nd, 2012, the webcomics artist Mr. In the picture, the word "berries" was replaced with "oral lacerations," playing on the common complaint that Cap'n Crunch is a very sharp cereal that can cut your mouth. On August 21st, 2010, Wordpress user Jimmi Bannanas posted the earliest known parody. The article was posted on November 3rd, 1999. One of the earliest includes satirical newspaper The Onion article "Quaker Oats Assembly-Line Worker Fired For 'Oops! All Berries' Incident," which treats the production of the cereal seriously and tells of a person fired for the cereal. Jokes about the cereal Oops! All Berries have existed since the release of the product. The cereal's ad campaign and product name created a narrative that the cereal had been created as a mistake hence, the "oops." Naturally, I’m not the first person to complain about this sad, inexplicable and indefensible turn of events.In 1997, the Quaker Oats Company introduced "Oops! All Berries" breakfast cereal, a line of Cap'n Crunch cereal that only contained berry-flavored crunch berries rather than a mix of traditional Cap'n Crunch pieces and crunch berries. Cap’n Crunch history is filled with weirdness, such as his long battle against the Soggies. I suppose this shouldn’t come as a surprise. And no broken lever could turn a box of regular Cap’n Crunch into a box of miniature chocolate donuts. Even if they were, there wouldn’t be enough for a whole box of cereal, not to mention millions of boxes. Certainly, you wouldn’t think that the folks working at Crunch HQ would be eating chocolate donuts for breakfast on the job. So now that the Cap’n is back on the scene, what kind of accident could possibly result in Oops! Choco Donuts? There’s nothing even close to chocolate donuts in any of the other Cap’n Crunch cereals. It was this very accident that convinced him to resume his post as captain and, hence, a more hands-on role. Apparently he was promoted to admiral after years of complaints from fans. In case you were wondering, the Admiral Crunch referred to above is the same guy as Cap’n Crunch. Sure, it’s a little convoluted, but in the end this story makes some sense. Thankfully, the Admiral had his Art Department slap together a box front for the new cereal, which is now enjoyed by millions. While trying to impress Admiral Crunch, they fought over the control handles, breaking them, and creating Cereal Boxes with JUST Berries.

When the Cap’n was promoted, the Quaker Oats Company had to find new Capn’s to fill the positions vacated by the newly promoted Admiral Crunch.ĭuring training at Crunch Headquarters, two new Capn’s - Cap’n Scrinch and Cap’n Munch - were trying to learn how to man the Crunch Berrie and Crunch Biscuit mixing machine that put the two flavors together in the Crunch Berries boxes. This flavor actually stemmed out of the Capn’s promotion to Admiral. According to the Cap’n Crunch FAQ, it went down like this:ĭespite popular belief, ‘Oops! All Berries’ did not come from an incident at Crunch Headquarters with some mischievous kids. But then, in 1997, there was a terrible accident. They are a mixture of the regular yellowish things (biscuits, apparently) with some red things that are flavored like berries.
You see, Cap’n Crunchberries were first introduced in 1967. This is manifestly not the case with the Cap’n’s latest “mistake,” Oops! Choco Donuts. Whether or not you like Cap’n Crunch Oops! All Berries, it’s pretty sensible that an accident at Crunch HQ actually resulted in the cereal.
