The Boston Globe is reporting that Pamela Low, creator of Cap'n Crunch has died. It's a sad day in cereal land. I have fond memories of eating bowls of Cap'n Crunch with my sister and watching Soul Train. It was either that, or Oscar Meyer liverwurst on saltine crackers.
Turns out the flavor of Cap'n Crunch was inspired by a rice dessert that Low's grandmother would make, which was flavored with brown sugar and butter. I always wondered what the hell Cap'n Crunch tasted like...and now reading that, it makes total sense.
By the way, I still dig on Cap'n Crunch. Oscar Meyer liverwurst, not so much.
