However, Chuck and I disagree with his taste preferences because I have never been one for marshmallows in my cereal. Cereal marshmallows are gross, although admittedly fun to squish against the top of your mouth. Breakfast cereals have a distinct hierarchy in my house.
- Fruity Pebbles
- Cookie Crisp
- Cocoa Krispies
- Cap'n Crunch Berries (but not the all Crunch Berry variety)
- Frosted Flakes
- Cinnamon Life
- Apple Jacks
- Cracklin' Oat Bran
- Raisin Bran
- Everything Else
- Kix (worst of the worst)
There has been something that has disturbed me ever since I was a kid about Fruity Pebbles. I understand they are supposed to be little fruity rocks, and who better to advertise little fruity rocks than the boys from Bedrock - Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. Genius, right? Until you start thinking that Fred's daughter was named Pebbles. How did the marketing guys not think about this? I always get this picture in my head (especially after seeing The Wall in the mid-80's). Whenever I grab a bowl, this thought always goes through my mind "Fruity pebbles...it's people!" ala Soylent Green.
Even if it is people, it is still delicious.
Enjoy!

IMHO, Cocoa Pebbles > Cocoa Krispies. Just sayin'.
I eat too many Fruity Pebbles, when I eat the Cocoas I always think that I wish I was eating Fruity...so Krispies provide a different texture that I find appealing every so often as a change of pace. Krispies are also not quite as strong on the Cocoa, which I also like...not a huge chocolate fan.
