Mediaboss Marketing

Jensen Karp makes his living telling jokes, but photos he posted to social media of his Cinnamon Toast Crunch containing shrimp tails and rat droppings are not part of a bit, he claims.

Ummmm why are there shrimp tails in my cereal? (This is not a bit), Karp tweeted Monday, accompanying a photo of the cereal spilled out onto a table with what Karp claims are two shrimp tails visible next to the cereal bag.

Karp, a comedian, says the company apologized in a direct message exchange on Twitter and offered to replace the cereal box, but denied that there were shrimp tails in the package.

After further investigation with our team that closely examined the image, it appears to be an accumulation of the cinnamon sugar that sometimes can occur when ingredients arent thoroughly blended. We assure you that theres no possibility of cross contamination with shrimp, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Twitter account,@CTCSquares, responded to Karp.

Continuing to air out his ire with the cereal company publicly, Karp shared several tweets claiming that there were mysterious black flecks in the package. Several social media users responded claiming they were mouse or rat droppings.

Karp shared that he contacted Poison Control, as he had eaten a whole bowl of cereal before spotting the alleged shrimp tails.

The interaction between Karp and Cinnamon Toast Crunch went viral Monday night, with many users weighing in on the shrimp tail claims.

Id cut my mouth off if I were you, actor Seth Rogen tweeted at Karp.
