I understand what you mean. I just don't understand why they say Aaarrr all

As in Cap'n Crunch? And speaking of the world's greatest Cereal mascot, I
miss the Soggies and Chockle the mascot from the short-lived Chococrunch
Cereal, and the old Crunchberry Beast. Does anyone remember Jean LaFoote, the
bad pirate on Captain... er, Cap'n Crunch? And those kids of which I only
remember Brunhilde?
Whoa, that was a serious rabbit trail... I guess the term "Cap'n" just
sparked some strange untapped memory stream. Excuse me while I sit down...
