  1. I’m surprised by your experiences with Cotton Candy Captain Crunch. I bought mine from Target as well and my first reaction opening the bag was pure delight as the smell of candy rushed out of the bag. However, once pouring into the bowl with the milk the cereal is completely tasteless. I thought maybe the flavor crystals or powders sank to the bottom of the box, but after getting through the whole box I was left with huge disappointment that the cereal tasted nothing like cotton candy and just some hollow corn flavor similar to Kix. I love the Captains standard offerings, so maybe I just got some from a bad batch.
