<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I have fond childhood memories of the Cap\u2019n, but like many childhood heroes, he\u2019s faded into irrelevance for the adult me. But, Quaker Oat\u2019s latest innovation, Cap\u2019n Crunch\u2019s Blueberry Pancake Crunch drops the Cap\u2019n right back into my consideration set! I should\u2019ve guessed that this limited edition cereal would be delicious because there was only one left on the shelf. It was a lone box nestled all the way in the back, so I had to contort myself to even reach it. <\/p>\n
The age-old debate: do you pour milk or cereal first? If you answered milk, you\u2019re a monster. My vote is always cereal first, so you can taste the cereal in its untainted form. Plus, you have better control of the milk to cereal ratio. Tangent aside – as I poured the cereal out, pretty teal blue and cream corn\/oat cereal orbs tumbled out. The pretty teal orbs reminded me of little Saturns; maybe the Cap\u2019n is at the helm of a new spaceship because this cereal is out of this world. Ha – get it? Too much? Fine. <\/p>\n
To complement the pretty coloring (yay, blue 1), there was a rich, sweet syrupy smell. No, not like the finest Canadian maple syrup, but more like Aunt Jemima high fructose corn syrup syrup. I say that in the most endearing, nostalgic way possible. I grew up with Aunt Jemima and kid-me loved that syrup. But, we all know, Aunt Jemima doesn\u2019t have anything on Canadian maple syrup. So, if this nostalgia factor doesn\u2019t resonate with you, I could see how this artificial smell would be off-putting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I proceeded to try each of the three orbs by themselves. First up was the teal blue one – it didn\u2019t register until the aftertaste that this was supposed to be the blueberry. The initial taste was very much a generic, sugary cereal. I was worried that once these hit milk, it would dye the milk blue and it would be like drinking liquidated Smurfs. Yuck. <\/p>\n
The next up was the semi-teal orbs – these looked like an accident, like the teal orbs brushed up on the cream ones and transferred some color. But, the box does show various shades of teal so maybe it\u2019s intentional. It did, though, have a slightly different aftertaste. I imagined this is the equivalent of a blueberry buried in the pancake batter. <\/p>\n
The final orb was the cream colored one. I was guessing this was supposed to be the pancake part of it. It just tasted sweet, nothing to write home about. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Then, I ate them all together. I liked the subtle complexity of the cereal. Don\u2019t get me wrong, the Blueberry Pancake Crunch clearly isn\u2019t some fantastic molecular gastronomy or anything. Heck, if you blindfolded me, I probably would have a 50 percent chance of guessing that it was blueberry pancake-flavored. <\/p>\n
If you add milk, it decreases my chances of guessing to about 5 percent. The milk somehow really washes out the flavor instead of enhancing it like I hoped. I was glad that the teal didn\u2019t come off and dye the milk blue, though! But, honestly for a $3 box of sweetened corn and oat, I\u2019m not complaining.<\/p>\n
By the way, National Blueberry Pancake Day was on January 28th so pick up a box and have a belated celebration with me! <\/p>\n
