News: Two New Pebbles Cereals are Coming Soon!

Take that, Mother Nature!

Where old Momma Gaia only nurtured three main types of rocks—igneous and sedimentary are two of them, for those living under a metamorphic—Post has now released over 25 different varieties of Pebbles cereal since Fruity & Cocoa (the Pebbles family’s Adam & Eve) debuted in 1971.

It must have been wild for the Flintstones to be cryogenically frozen—which, for a cartoon, I presume involves lamination—only to be drawn back to life just in time to see their familiar bedrock culture made deliciously edible.

The new flavors, Tropical Fruit and Strawberry Banana, come hot off the heels of last year’s underrated Peanut Butter & Cocoa Pebbles, which were pretty much sweetly dandruffed Reese’s Puff clippings. Thanks again to Gorgnull, we have a clear look at Tropical Fruit, even if Strawberry Banana has yet to be visually leaked.

I’m not the biggest Pebbles fan, as I prefer my cereal to hit my stomach like an actual rock, instead of the nutritional equivalent of balsa rice, but these concepts have me intrigued. Strawberry Banana sounds like the (somehow) beautiful lovechild of Urkel and a Minion, while Tropical Fruit doubles down on the ‘nanner while boldly introducing twists of pineapple and mango, two flavors that have yet to debut in mainstream or American cereal aisles.

So while it’s innovative, I don’t know if I fully trust the pre-ice age Fred & Barney to pull off a tropical flavor yet. Maybe they can enlist the help of a pterodactyl who flew south for the winter.

  1. Tropical Fruit pebbles remind of of the 80s cereal Fruit island. That was at least the first thing that popped into my head when first seeing the screenshot. Those old Ralston ceareals were always so much fun in the 80;s

  2. I really can’t wait to try both new flavors. Fruity Pebbles is definitely a top favorite. I just wish all of these new cereal releases were coming out sooner than the first quarter of next year. There haven’t really been that many new cereal releases in a few months now. So much for starting the diet in the new year.
