You know what Fruity Pebbles have always been missing? Pop Rocks! I seriously wonder what the looks on the board members faces must have been like when this idea was pitched. In an era where most cereals are reducing sugar content and trying to become healthier, this product brings us back to a time when cereal was fun and ups the ante on those circus peanut marshmallow bits. Poppin' Pebbles have a berry flavor going on that's a bit different than their fruity forefather. The real story is those poppin' pieces though. Carbonated crystals suspended in little balls of powdered sugar and nonfat yogurt powder (that's healthy, right?). This amps up the normal poppiness of a rice based cereal and the crystals being suspended in the dense little boulders keeps the from popping in the milk. Kind of brilliantly engineered actually. I wouldn't necessarily rush out and buy another box, but it's a fun novelty.
