Cap'n Crunch's Orange Creampop Crunch

 

Product circa: summer 2025

As soon as I learned of this product's existence, I was able to order some from Walmart's backstock in autumn 2025.  Have YOU ever had orange-flavored cereal before?  I rest my case.

The subtle-but-present orange flavor is there, and it's definitely a unique experience for cereal.  The typical "cereal vanilla" is what dominates most of the experience, but the vanilla and orange combine to get an almost banana-like flavor, which is very welcome.  In the end, this is a like a tropical-tasting cereal, and dare I say, even a refreshing experience.  I'd reach for a box of this once a year, if I had the chance.

Snickers Adventure Bar

 

Product circa: 2008 (!)

Indeed, I still have this bag of snacks!  Unfortunately, the chocolate has gone rancid, and they are inedible.

This was a promotional product released for the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  It was a regular Snickers bar base with the added flavors of coconut and chai-like spices... why they chose those flavors to promote this movie, I do not know.

I recall the candy having a subtle coconut flavor that accented the original very well.  I personally do not recall any flavor of spices at all, though some concurrent sources did.
