Don't know what happened but when I was a kid you could buy this in the UK - & I loved it.  Then suddenly they just stopped selling it. Before I got married my wife and I took a trip to the USA and I almost fell over when I saw it on the shelves.  Since then I have  always smuggled a couple of boxes back with me.

There is something very special about the taste of that first pillow of this cereal on a clean palette. 

Is anyone else here a connoisseur?

I can't believe people actually buy grocery items from Amazon. Most of what's there ranges from 2-10x the brick-and-mortar price. Sometimes it's even more than that!

Even taking into account the meta-costs of shopping, I can't even begin to make it pencil out.

but for something you cannot buy in UK, I think the price is worth than buying the ticket and smuggle it.

Although, I like the Reece's cereal better. That stuff is like crack. I only get one box every year or so.

This just in from the Onion:

SPRINGFIELD, MA—The roof of area resident Meredith Kjell's mouth is in serious condition Tuesday following her consumption of three bowls of Cap'n Crunch cereal. "We believe most of the roof can be salvaged," Dr. David Kim told reporters. "But grafts may be necessary to replace many of the ribbons of flesh gouged from Miss Kjell's palate by this brutally crunchy pre-sweetened breakfast food." http://www.theonion.com/articles/roof-of-mouth-in-serious-condition-following-capn,4131/

It is distressing to want to eat something that causes such direct pain.

I castigate thee, Captain Crunch. Go to Britan!

@kettch:

It's amazing what you'll spend to get treats that are no longer available to yourself locally!
As an ex-pat Brit living in the USA, I am used to spending 3-6 times the price for real Cadbury's chocolate (not the fake stuff made by Hershey under license here), Branston pickle, Heinz baked beans and yes, even Marmite. Smiley

Plus whenever I take a trip home, I always take an extra suitcase to haul back a load of loot.

Like most fine cooking, the trick is knowing just how long to let it sit.

Instead of wasting the cereal, I eat it. Soggy Cap'n Crunch holds up much better than soggy corn flakes, which is what the "traditional" recipe calls for.
