The Soggies have finally won: Cap'n Crunch is quietly sailing into retirement. Long derided by health experts for its high sugar content – a single serving contains 12 grams – the cereal is no longer being actively marketed by Quaker, DailyFinance reports.
CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCHWith just 28 percent of their calories coming from sugar, these tiny squares contribute more than just an insulin kick. However, one cup also contains 170 calories, 4 grams of fat and the preservative BHT, so limit yourself to one serving.
6. Sugar-frosted cornflakes. Sugar-frosted cornflakes are high in sugar and low in fibre as well as usually coming with added salt. Sugar-frosted flakes are usually nutritionally similar to other sweetened cereals like chocolate rice cereals, or honey-nut coated cereals.

For those who haven't been following the cereal scandal dubbed "Crunchgate" from the beginning, the beloved cereal icon was accused of posing as a captain because his uniform has only three stripes on his sleeve, which, in naval terms, means he is a commander, a rank below captain.
The first cold breakfast cereal, Granula (not the same as granola), was invented in the United States in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson, operator of Our Home on the Hillside which was later replaced by the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York.
Cereal box hero Cap'n Crunch isn't a Captain after all. A veteran naval officer who has saluted from cereal boxes for 50 years - Cap'n Crunch - may not be a real captain after all.
An epic combination of cinnamon and sugar blasted on every square. Just pour a bowl, splash on some milk and enjoy. And don't forget to drink the Cinnamilk, the treasured milk found at the bottom of your bowl after enjoying Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
