    Disclaimer: At 3:25, our editors accidentally used a military uniform that is not a U.S. Military Uniform. This was not intentional, and we acknowledge we should have caught this sooner. The LATER images ARE in fact US Navy.
    We all know the mouth scraping-ly good cereal known as Cap'n Crunch. What you may NOT know is that the good ole "Cap'n" is no captain at all! In fact he is nothing but a LIAR! You see, this well loved cereal mascot has been masquerading for YEARS as an honorable captain but today, Loyal Theorists, we are pulling back the curtain on this so-called captain!

I love history specifically the nitty gritty details on uniforms and to see this amount of effort put into a video maybe by a channel such as yourself that didn’t need or have to brings joy to me.

    Another great video!
    Something I think is important to note is that he's known (at least on the box) as "Cap'n", not "Captain" or "CAPT", which might be a whole legal thing. Another thing that is probably important to notice is that there's no star/leaf above the stripes on his sleeve, which (at last in modern times) are present on officers' uniforms.
    Alternate theory - we're watching adverts from an alternate timeline where everything that's been said in the video that says he *isn't* in our world's military is the opposite in Cap'n Crunch's timeline. In his world, he *is* an official member of the military.

Also that woman is a Private which is the lowest rank of navy you can be meaning she has no access to actual records nor any actual ability to discredit any information and that exact woman was dishonorably discharged for faking her credentials of being a higher rank than she actually was.
