Cap'n Crunch

Cap'n Crunch is  a product line of corn and oat breakfast cereals introduced in 1963 and manufactured by Quaker Oats Company, a division of PepsiCo since 2001.

Appearance[]

Since the Jade Key challenge in the movie is The Shining challenge, the Captain Crunch only appears in the Jade Key challenge in the book; not the movie. The Captain Crunch Cereal Box includes a whistle toy that is mentioned in this poem:

The Captain conceals the Jade Key
in a dwelling long neglected
But you can only blow the whistle 
Once the trophies are all collected

In the film a Halliday Scholar can be seen examining a photo of a Cap'n Crunch Bubbleyum cereal box on his computer.  

The same box appears on a shelf when Wade is choosing outfits in the garage.
