Cinnamon Toast Crunch Shrimp: Los Angeles podcaster Jensen Karp, husband of ‘Boy Meets World’ Danielle ‘Topanga’ Fischel, says he found tails in his General Mills cereal

LOS ANGELES – It’s one of America’s most popular brands, but what a California man supposedly found in his Cinnamon Toast Crunch made him lose his appetite for his formerly favorite cereal.

And now the manufacturer advises you to call the police.

Jensen Karp, a comedian, writer, podcaster and ex-rapper, says he found two crustaceans that would have made his CTC even more crunchy.

“This is obviously a shrimp tail,” Karp told CNN. “I ate a bowl, spilled it and saw the shrimp. I had already eaten a full one.”

And so began the story of the shrimp that mesmerized the Internet, inspiring cereal models and Captain Crunch spreading shrimp in what was jokingly described as “clearly a case of corporate sabotage”.

Jensen sent a photo of the alleged shrimp to General Mills’ Twitter account.

The company offered to “replace the box”.

“I definitely don’t want another cereal,” said Karp.

Then the company said, “It appears to be an accumulation of cinnamon and sugar that can sometimes occur when the ingredients are not well mixed.”

“Which is crazy,” said Karp.

He wrote back, “OK, after further investigation with my eyes, these are cinnamon-coated shrimp tails, you freaks.”

General Mills then asked Karp to send the alleged shrimp tails in a prepaid and addressed envelope that they would send to him.

They then asked him to ship the shrimp via FedEx.

Someone even offered an anatomical analysis of the shrimp’s body parts.

And then Karp noticed a black substance roasted in some flakes.

“It got more disgusting. I ate whatever was in those squares. I have to take the test,” said Karp.

General Mills issued a statement saying, “We can safely say that this did not happen at our facility.”

They also sent an email to Karp saying, “If you don’t want to send the cereal items and packages to us, please provide these items to the local authorities.”

Karp said he bought a package of two at Costco and without even opening the second, he and his wife, ‘Boy Meets World’ star Danielle Fischel, who played Topanga Lawrence, found what appears to be dental floss.

Karp said it is possible that the second package was sealed with tape at the bottom, but he cannot say.

Costco did not respond to CNN.

“It’s a drag because Cinnamon Toast Crunch is literally the only cereal I eat. It’s my favorite since I was a kid,” said Karp.

The Los Angeles podcaster and comedian even has a Cinnamon Toast Crunch T-shirt.

Some remembered the scene in “Forrest Gump”, where Bubba lists all types of shrimp: “There are pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp …”

And now, supposedly, Cinnamon Toast Crunch shrimp.
