Rumor has it that Cap’n Crunch cereal is about to get a face lift. Pepsico, the parent company of the cereal, is going to make the popular cereal more nutritional. This is all the result of pressure from the White House to make their products healthier. Good thing C.C. Sabathia went cold turkey this year and stopped his daily helping of one box of the Cap’n.
Was the change in diet C.C.’s idea or did President Obama tip him off? Can you imagine the phone call? Maybe, it went down like this…
“Hey big guy, it’s me the Prez, I have bad news for you. I suggest the next time you go to your local Piggly Wiggly, you pick yourself up a big box of Wheaties.”
“What are you saying Mr. President?”
“I’m telling you that your favorite Cap’n is about to walk the plank.”
The President then hangs up the phone to the sound of Sabathia’s sobbing. Then again, the President’s favorite team is the White Sox; this could be his way of tipping the scales their way. Regardless, the President’s actions will prevent C.C. from going back to his addictive ways. Who in the world wants to eat a healthy Cap’n Crunch anyways? Sorry C.C., you know it is for your own good.
It hasn’t even been a month since C.C. divulged his slimmer figure was the result of cutting a full box of Cap’n Crunch out of his daily diet. What kind of cruel world do we live in when we are forced to “gulp” munch a healthier Cap’n Crunch in the morning? That means no more sugary original, crunch berries, or my personal favorite, peanut butter to start our days off. We promise we will eat responsibly, not all of us need an entire box like Sabathia. In fact, I never eat more than one bowl. It has been a bad month for the breakfast cereal. First Sabathia stops eating it, then a total makeover.
Think of the dilemma C.C. can be in if he discovers that he actually pitched better when tipping the scales at a robust 300+ lbs. Who can he turn to? Thank you very much Mr President.
Don’t worry Mr Sabathia, there is still a box of Count Chocula with your name on it just waiting for you.
In the wake of yesterday’s tragic Tsunami, I felt we needed to start this Saturday off with a little levity. I hope you enjoyed it. Join me tomorrow when things get a little more serious, when another editon of “Meegan’s HOT Seat” returns – a look at who’s hot and who’s not.
