WHO IS CAP’N CRUNCH?
In June 2013, a food blogger noticed that Cap’n Crunch was sporting a commander’s three stripes on his uniform, rather than the four stripes of a captain. The Navy response to this jaw-dropping revelation agreed that the Cap’n’s uniform displayed the wrong rank, adding “Oddly, our personnel records do not show a “Cap’n Crunch” who currently serves or has served in the Navy.” Get the full scoop here.
Candace no response. She lost her $240 bet and finished with $1,960.
Torrey wrote she had “no clue.” She lost $2,000 and finished with $3,200.
Patton got it right. He added $7,200 and won the game with $54,400. Patton will join Michael Cera in the upcoming Semifinal. Candace and Torrey each won $30,000 for their charities.
