Galactic Crunch (Cap'n Crunch)
From: Quaker
Introduced in 2000


Cap'n Crunch's Galactic Crunch was described on the front of the box as a corn cereal "with space-shaped marshmallows." The main cereal pieces were described as "Crunchy, Fun, Flying Saucer Shaped Galactic Cereal." They looked a little like deflated balls. Many believe they were the same pieces found in Quisp cereal. The marshmallows were shaped like an alien, an astronaut, a Saturn-like panel and a rocket ship.

The first 7 ingredients listed on the nutrition panel were corn flour, sugar, dehydrated marshmallows, oat flour, brown sugar, partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil and salt.

The box we were lucky enough to acquire had an activity panel on the back called "The Marshmallow Shuttle" with a spot-the-differences puzzle.

Know premium: Send-away offer for a LEGO Life On Mars Alien Encounter Kit that included 2 space crafts and 2 figures.

    Please bring back this cereal. It was my favorite. Quisp is second best.

    I loved this cereal and if it came back I wouldn't have to decide what to get because it would always be Galactic Crunch, hands down!

    My best friend and I once decided to go 24 hours eating only Galactic Cap'n Crunch... best time ever. Now I wish it would come back so I could share it with my children.

    Galactic Crunch was basically, in a nut shell, Quisp with Marshmallows added. All you have to do is buy a box of Quisp and a box of Lucky Charms, sift the Marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms and add them to a bowl of Quisp. A lot of work, yes, but if you want Galactic Crunch, that's what ya gotta do. Glad I saved the only box of Galactic Crunch I bought.

    I only got 1 box and I look for it every time I go to the store hoping to find it again. Please make Galactic Crunch again.

    Best cereal ever. I only got one box and then it was gone. I hope it comes out again, but I doubt it will.
