\"Limited<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

As sad as it is to say, eating a bowl of Cap’n Crunch’s Beach Bash Cereal is as close as I\u2019m going to get to actually going to the beach this summer. <\/p>\n

Jokes about my current status as a dirt-poor student aside, Cap’n Crunch’s Beach Bash is Quaker’s newest nautical adventure, and combines beach-themed crunch pieces with magical milk-color-changing-sorcery to bring the ocean to your breakfast table! <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Visually, Beach Bash is about what you\u2019d expect for a beach-themed cereal. Eighty percent of the pieces are standard Cap’n Crunch squares, which happen to look like water wings. The other 20 percent are shaped like stereotypical beach stuff — starfish, floaties, and sharks. <\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Taste-wise, it\u2019s Cap’n Crunch. Sweet, crunchy, slightly corn-y, and not much to write home about on its own. If you like regular Cap’n Crunch, then you\u2019ll probably like this, because this doesn\u2019t taste any different. <\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

The real fun happens after you pour milk into your bowl. Beach Bash has the same milk color-changing technology featured in Halloween Crunch, and uses it here to make your boring old milk turn into an entire miniature ocean! Call me simple-minded, but I like to play with my food, and there\u2019s something about chasing cereal-sharks around a little cereal bowl ocean with my spoon that I find to be both really fun and oddly satisfying.<\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Since the cereal has to soak for a couple of minutes in order to make the milk change color, Beach Bash\u2019s quality is contingent on its ability to not instantly turn into mushy cereal-gruel after getting wet. Luckily, this IS Cap’n Crunch that we\u2019re talking about here, so milk viability isn\u2019t an issue. The cereal in my bowl remained pleasantly crunchy after ten minutes of soaking, which was more than enough time for my milk to turn bright blue.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

While I probably won\u2019t make a special trip out to the one Walmart in my area that has this to buy it again, I\u2019d say Cap’n Crunch’s Beach Bash is worth trying, even if it\u2019s only for the novelty factor. <\/p>\n
