Big heart. Canadian roots.

Made with purpose.
From the beginning.

Holy Crap began in 2009 with Corin and Brian Mullins and a desire to create a breakfast that worked for their family. That personal beginning still matters.

Our cereals are made in our own dedicated gluten-free factory in Gibsons, BC. It is where our commitment to thoughtful ingredients and careful production comes together.

Holy Crap.
Did you know?

From a television pitch to a journey into space, our story has had a few unexpected chapters.

A big moment on the small screen

We entered
the Dragons’ Den.

In 2010, founders Corin and Brian Mullins introduced Holy Crap to the Dragons—and to a much bigger audience.

What happened next?

The pitch led to an on-air offer from Jim Treliving. The investment was not ultimately finalized, but the appearance became a defining moment in Holy Crap’s early growth.

An out-of-this-world breakfast story

Yes, Holy Crap
went to space.

Holy Crap cereal was one of 12 Canadian foods chosen to accompany astronaut Chris Hadfield into space in December 2012.

How did it get there?

Holy Crap was a winner of the Canadian Space Agency’s “Canadian Snacks for Space” contest. A student who had seen the Dragons’ Den episode nominated the cereal.
