Best Answer

Captain Crunch is the nickname of John Draper, a rather infamous phone phreaker. Before there were computers and computer hackers, there were phone phreakers who hacked the phone system in various ways.

He got his nickname from his discovery that a certain plastic whistle, which came as a free surprise toy in boxes of Capn' Crunch cereal could be used to fool payphones into giving you free phone calls.
