In one end of the ring, we have Captain Crunch, ruler of the high breakfast cereal seas and kind king of friendly cereal eating consumerists across the world.

In the other end of the ring we have our favorite drunken pirate Captain Morgan, stylish and sexy with a knack for attracting many a' wench.

Captain Crunch AND Captain Morgan

why is this not an option?
 
Captain Morgan because I frequently sail the high seas with him.
 
Captain Morgan is ass, and Captain Crunch kicks ass. Do the math.
 
Neither, I think they both suck.
I vote zombieturtle.
 
Never really cared for Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Rum, but I'll always love the original Captain Crunch. :)

/facepalm @ the possiblility of this thread getting closed due to a heated flame war. :p
 
I never suggested you all fill in who you wished, I only need to know which of the two you'd rather 'kick it' with. I want to know who you'd rather spend time with, personally. That drunken womanizing - yet totally fun to be around Morgan or the timeless, fun for all ages sailorman; Captain Crunch.
 
Captain Morgan and Captain Crunch share more than just being mascots for their own brand of consumables. Captain Crunch and Captain Morgan are, in fact, ageless, immortal dread men of the high seas.

The official story is that Captain Morgan was named after a 17th century privateer who sailed the Caribbean; the last part is true, but the names and dates are incorrect. Captain Morgan was not, as believed, named after Henry Morgan; his name was James Alan Morgan, who attacked Spanish ships in the Caribbean after the War of the Spanish Succession. At the tail end of the 1720s when the British Royal Navy began patroling the seas in force, Captain James Morgan and his crew were forced to sail out of port in the night lest they be caught and hung for their crimes. The story goes that the captain stocked the galleys to bursting with rum for fear of scurvy breaking out among his crew. Trouble was, other provisions were woefully understocked, and James Morgan and his crew died at sea from starvation--but not a one had caught the scurvy.

And the tale goes further, saying that the Captain's spirit lives on so long as people drink his rum, thus the slogan, "Got a little Captain in you?" It's not a figurative statement.

In a bit of a coincidence, Captain Horatio Crunch was also an early 18th century Caribbean sailor, though he was a Naval man. His path and Morgan's never crossed, though he sailed against another notorious pirate: Jean LaFoote.

Captain Crunch sailed his vessel, the Good Ship Guppy, against LaFoote in a decisive battle in the Gulf of Mexico, 1729. Both ships utterly annihilated each other; Crunch's Guppy blasting the mainmast and splintering through the topdeck of LaFoote's SS Barefoot, killing the notorious pirate and his crew. However, a cannonball from the Barefoot angled and punched a hole straight through the bottom of the Guppy, to which Captain Horatio Crunch's faithful crew members informed him that the Guppy was "going soggy;" the lower decks flooded with water, and the good Cap'n and all aboard (including three children and the captain's faithful mutt Seadog) perished.

There's some supernatural tales about that too, but they're slightly more grim than those of Captain Morgan, and I won't get into them for HL2's sake. Let's just say there's reasons I voted for Captain Crunch though, and partake of his cereal more than I enjoy a bottle of rum.
 
Crunch is superior. He is way more jolly.
 
I'm related to a ships captain called captain morgan so i'll go with that.
 
My love for Captain Crunch has severely diminished since I was a little kid gobbling down his cereal. These days, Captain Morgan and I have a lot in common and goddamned if that guy doesn't carry good alcohol with him.
