An idea whose time has come

I've waited years for this. Dino Pebbles, Cinna-crunch Pebbles, and Marshmallow Pebbles were all delicious, but not really Pebbles. This is the first new flavor that deserves to stand alongside the venerable Fruity and Cocoa varieties. (I myself would favor Vanilla Pebbles, but there's a perception among kids that vanilla has no flavor which makes it impossible to market vanilla cereal which is a tragedy.)
Anyway, Berry Pebbles taste exactly like you'd expect: super sweet artificial fruit flavor heaven. Of all the fruit and chocolate cereals on the market (and believe me, I have tried them all from about 1983 to now) I think the Pebbles line has the strongest flavor, and Bamm-Bamm's mix is no exception. It's lightyears better than the new Berry Rice Krispies, just as Cocoa Pebbles soundly trumps Cocoa Krispies. As always, it get soggy entirely too fast - you're chewing mush by the fourth spoonfull - but more delicious gruel I could not imagine in my wildest dreams. Aesthetically, I think it would benefit from some blue pieces, but cereal companies always seem reticent about using blue food dye, so I imagine it must be the most expensive on the market.
The flavor is actually very similar to Blueberry Morning (also from Post), but with several times the sugar. Later on I'm going to mix a bowl of Fruity and Berry Pebbles together. I'm so daring.

Re: An idea whose time has come
Or perhaps it stems from the fact that eating blue cereal makes it look like <i>you're eating mold</i>.Green Gibbon! wrote:Aesthetically, I think it would benefit from some blue pieces, but cereal companies always seem reticent about using blue food dye, so I imagine it must be the most expensive on the market.
Green, I had no idea you were a cereal aficionado too. I eat cereal about 10 meals per week, and if it were socially acceptable, I would eat it the other 11 too.
I usually rotate Froot-Loops (actually the Wal-Mart kind; they are far superior to the Kellogg's kind), Honey Nut Cheerios, and Lucky Charms. I always forget that I like Honey Comb, but then when I get some I find that it is delicious.

We don't get all these fruit based cereals in the UK unless they have actual dried fruit in. (Raisins, banana, berries, etc) The cereal itself is plain or sugared. Which is a bit of a shame.
I tend to rotate between Coco Pops, Frosties, Honey Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Grahams.
Also vanilla cereal would be sickly.

Well, it does sort of look like you're eating dead leaves. That really doesn't help your case, though.Popcorn wrote:Muesli's got a pleasant autumnal pallete, all right?
Long ago when Toastyfrog.com used to review off-brand cereal I was lucky enough to get my hands on a box of King Vitamin (don't ask how):
Look at that face! Those eyebrows! That crown! Truly it was the king of cereals.
